Hi,

I am running Ethereal 0.10.7 (the latest) on my Windows XP system.  Apart
from the LAN network adapter, I have installed two DLINK cards and connect
these to a TAP kit which sits between my gateway and my switch.

Is there any way of getting ethereal to collect data from BOTH these cards
at the same time?  Using a TAP kit gets the packets received by the gateway
on one card and the packets sent by the gateway on the other so I need both
to be collected at the same time.

I have run two ethereal captures (one on each card) and that does work and
I have merged the two captures together successfully.  However, I want to
set the trace going to capture a few megabytes of data and three is no way
I can know how much would come in on each card so that both captures end at
the same time.

I know I can BOND interfaces together on Linux (and we do that elsewhere)
but that is not what I'm running here.

Any ideas (or alternate ways of doing the above) would be greatly
appreciated.

Regards,
Alan.
