Hi all,

I am trying to write a very small sniffer in C to get familiar with this kind of apps. One problem that I am facing is that even though I have set the interface in promiscuous mode, I can only see my own traffic and nothing else.
I am using the IFF_PROMISC flag.
Anyone has any idea why I cannot sniff anything else?

Thank  you,
Andrea
