Outgoing packets from VMware duplicated

[Thomas Boehne <TBoehne () adwin de>]

I have a native linux installation running tcpdump/ethereal and
VMware. When I ping another machine from my Windows running in VMware,
tcpdump and ethereal show all outgoing packets twice (I guess it is a
libpcap problem). Incoming packets are captured correctly.

I know that this problem has been reported before, but I did not find
a solution so far. (pointers welcome!) As a workaround, I am
using a different machine and a hub, but this affects the timing of my
protocol... Capturing on a different machine proofs that the packets
go out only once.

Greetings and thanks for your help, 
Thomas Böhne
