I am thinking of setting up a Linux laptop as a network sniffer. Use two

Is this a practical thing to do? Does anyone have any experience with
this type of setup?
Only you can say if it's practical, but certainly doable. I have an ACER
laptop with hardwire and WiFi, and which will accept and use PCMCIA NICs
if I need one more connection.
