I was apparently mistaken. The promqry app reports that my NIC is in promiscuous mode when Wireshark is running, however i still see no packets other than ARPs and broadcasts. &nbsp;I'm at a loss.

I have Wireshark installed on a Dell D620 with a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx NIC. &nbsp;I have port mirroring configured on my LAN switch, however, Wireshark captures no packets when I connect to the mirrored port. &nbsp;I can connect another PC with Wireshark to the same mirrored port and I see tons of packets. &nbsp;It appears to me that my Broadcom NIC is not being placed in promiscuous mode but I have no idea how to fix that. &nbsp;Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
