The promiscuous setting must complete before return, but there are several drivers where the updated multicast filter does not immediately take effect. I have not seen hardware where setting promiscuous mode is a queued command. If you have such hardware, you may have to do some extra software filtering and accept missing some packets during transitions. -- Donald Becker becker@scyld.com Scyld Computing Corporation http://www.scyld.com 410 Severn Ave. Suite 210 Scyld Beowulf cluster system Annapolis MD 21403 410-990-9993 - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
