Why do you use NAT on the analysis machine if you go into the trouble to create such a specific card to mimic a direct-connected network? Why do you want to play with the IP predecence field if you have got TCP sequence number problems? Why should the analysis machine terminate/initialize the TCP connections, if it's a bridged setup and you can shunt/unshunt the cabling as you wish? Sorry, but the whole purpose of the setup and what you do is totally unclear for me.
