I've updated this part, you're right I was not careful enough on the per-iface filtering part, I think it's fine now. Basically, compared to the v2 sent last week, I've stopped considering that if one interface was in promiscuous mode, all of them should and did a per-PHY check, so that otherwise we can apply the necessary filtering if needed. > I need to admit, you can achieve the same behaviour of multiple user > space stacks and one monitor, _but_ you can easily filter the traffic > if you do it per interface... Thanks, Miquèl
