thanks for the reply but No, I dont have to set up a bridge.A bridge
looks at its table's entry and says that packets with the mac 'Mi'
must be forwarding to interface X.Bridge does flooding,learning and

I need a behavior where I say that all packets coming and going on an
interface X must be given to another interface Y.

You mean having something like an interface "eth1" which has all the
traffic "eth0" has. So if you wanted to sniff activity on "eth0", you can
simply sniff on "eth1", right...
