Thank you.  The problem was that the card was not setup to support promiscuous
mode (just rebuilt the laptop forgot to do it).  So this is the matrix of the
operations.

----------------------------------------------------
         \ Card | Promiscuous  | Non-Promiscuous   |
Ethereal   \
----------------------------------------------------
Promiscuous     | Full Capture | No capture at all |
----------------------------------------------------
Non-Promiscuous | Inbound only | Inbound only      |
----------------------------------------------------


Not exactly an ideal case, but I can live with it.

Thank you, Tony.

Did you try bot  promiscuous and non-promiscuous mode?  If not, that's
the first thing you can do....
