I am using the PCMCIA card at the 486/100MHz PC.  However, when the tcpdump runs on the BPF, it cannot capture every packet on the network even though it is possible to set the BPF device as promiscuous mode. I.e., this BPF captures only
the packets which come in or go out this very machine. 

How can I solve this problem? Isn't there a bug on the device driver?
