Hello

We r looking for a genric solution by mean of which we can read complete
junk packets as they r landing at ethernet driver.
We r able to read all the good packets in the subnet by setting driver in
promiscous mode. But we r not getting bad packets i.e. packets along with
ethernet-CRC error.
Is there any mechanism to do this on any flavour of UNIX preferably Solaris,
Linux, FreeBSD??

Alternatively, is there any mechanism by which we can get count of error
packets generated by each host in a subnet??

Looking for a positive response.
