If you take the resulting pcap file and run it again through the same
filter, does it drop the unwanted packets?
I ask because that might rule out something high-level that was
indeterminate.
I don't know what a bnx2 driver is. Based upon the other things you
mention, I'm guessing this is Linux. (You should say. Tcpdump runs on
dozens of Unixes)
Does bnx2 do any hardware offload?
Is there any 802.3 encoding occuring (VLAN, QOS, etc) on that link?
