Hi.
Is a network device driver allowed to modify dev->flags? For example:
if (dev->flags & IFF_ALLMULTI) dev->flags |= IFF_PROMISC;
I've found it to cause the IFF_PROMISC flag to stick when using "tcpdump -p", which to my surprice sets the IFF_ALLMULTI flag.

You are supposed to increment the promisc requestors. I think something like this:
dev_set_promiscuity(dev, 1);
