Subject:   Capturing packets w/ bad CRC's?

Hello,

I'm trying to write an ethernet level network tester to test a wireless
gigabit product the company I'm working for has developed.  I need
to be able to get packets off a Gig-E interface that have bad CRC
checksums so I can see how badly mangled they are.  I've tried using
pcap and ng_ether int: lowerboth of which are giving me just the "good" 
packets.

Right now they are being discarded somewhere below the bpf interface.
I'm not sure where, I've read through a bunch of the *if* code, but
I don't see it there.  I did see some stuff in the 100Mb cards, but
thats not really going to work here, since I'm pushing ~600Mb/s
on the box doing the packet generation..

I'm using ti and sk cards (either/or...)

If anyone knows how I can get the bad packets to examine them, I'd much
appreciate it.

Thanks.
