I just received an mbed module and have successfully compiled and received printf output on a terminal program. Next step is to hook up an ethernet connector. Reading the ethernet API it seems like if you just use the ethernet library and do a "receive" that the mbed can be used as a packet monitor. Is this true or am I missing something?

I think so. Have a look at Rolf's program here.

Perfect! I have been doing a lot of reading on this site and had not come across this sniff code snippet.  Thank you.

Also see Handbook->Ethernet example code that prints packets

That is different than Cookbook->Ethernet
