        And what is the driver for eth3?  Is it vmnet?
        [...]
 
hi,
surely it's not vmnet. I have r8169 under eth3 - standard realtek
ethernet card (lspci below).


on my home computer (squeeze 64 bit), system freezes when trying to
capture network packages, on my work computer (etch 32 bit)
it reboots immediatelly. 


previously i've had lenny 32 bit on my work computer and from time to
time it did not crash while trying to capture packets, but even when
did, only application (wireshark) crashed, not whole system.


i also have tried to capture with vmnet module removed but it didn't
help anyway.


if more informations are needed, don't hestiate to ask for.


cheers,
mark
