Although the Etherlink III ODI MLID driver is promiscous, the adapter will not report bad packets. The Parallel Tasking technology incorporated into the adapter increases performance by discarding any bad or illegal packets. This allows the protocol stack to only interface with valid packets. Since this filtering occurs at the hardware level, system performance is increased under normal operations. If you must capture bad or illegal packets, it is suggested that an Etherlink III not be used.
