Hmmm, might be something specific to the Madge card itself, I've just tested it on my IBM PCI (olympic) card and it picks the traffic up fine. I know the olympic driver does promiscuous mode properly, not sure if the Madge does. I see you're using the old 2.31 Madge drivers, have you tried the newer 2.4 drivers ?
