I believe other people have successfully captured on Token Ring on
Linux.

Could you please send us a Token Ring network capture file with this
problem, so we can try to figure out what the problem might be? I
certainly have no idea what might be happening (libpcap 0.6.2 *does*
know about kernel 2.4[.x]'s new ARPHRD_ type for Token Ring).
