Hello,

I'm involved in a project where we're working with 802.1q frames, and we
want to develop a Test System where the frame generator is developed in
PC (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7). We've already bought but still waiting, the
Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Server Adapter for this purpose . Playing
around with a normal NIC we've observed that is not possible to check
the FCS whith any sniffer (wireshark). Since where planning to stress
the network in all the ways possible, to have the FCS information would
be pretty important, also the frames with invalid checksum.  
 
 Without any modification in the driver of the adapter and in the OS
it's impossible have at my disposal such information in any sniffer.
I've just wondering if anybody has already any experience with this kind
of modifications into the driver to provide the CRC information. 
 
Thank you in advance,

Cesar Prados
