Get external tranceiver for your NIC and cut pins 3 and 10 of the AUI
interface, this will provide
you with a receive only interface that can still keep the link up to the
hub/switch.


Just wondering: In case I use some more advanced technology like 10/100BASE-T
and RJ45 and cut the transmit path: Will the other side (hub/switch) still
send packets in my direction? I think there is no link pulse anymore and
thus no packets are sent in my direction.

I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know
what proactive means.


ifconfig eth0 -arp   (Turns off ARP on the interface)

works here
