Hello all,

I am Monica from germany.We have task which is quite uncommon.
So please read it slowly.

We are developing some custom based PCI Ethernet Card using Realtek
chips.we have downloaded the driver software(binary)from the REALTEK
site.

we have to use the card always in Promiscious mode.But we dont have the
source code of the driver.we only have the binary code.

But we have observed that softwares like ethereal are able to capture
the ethernet packets in promisicous mode.

So my query is,Is there any standard IOCTL function or some facility in
the Windows operating systems to make the ethernet card in promiscious
mode.

Thanks alot in advance.

Thanking you,
Monica DSouza,
FZI-Karlsruhe.
