You might be able to use the DAG cards from Endace Measurement Systems:

	http://www.endace.com/

They have drivers for Linux (and FreeBSD ones are either available or 
under development); the current CVS version of libpcap supports passive 
capturing on DAG cards, and tcpdump, Ethereal/Tethereal, etc. can just 
use that version of libpcap.  (The current version of Ethereal won't 
show the DAG devices in the drop-down list in the capture window - we 
need to convert Ethereal to use the new libpcap API for getting a list 
of capture devices, if the version of libpcap being used has that API; 
that's fairly straightforward if you're building Ethereal from source 
on UNIX, but it's a bit more of a pain on Windows, where we'd want the 
Ethereal binary to work with WinPcap 2.x and 3.x.)
