(It doesn't work for all cards, but I suspect that correlates > highly with the revision that needs the promisc) In particular the xircom_tulip_cb driver from 2.4.13-pre4 should work well at Columbia (since that's one place where I tested it :-). You can simply copy the xircom_tulip_cb.c from 2.4.13-pre4 into pretty much any 2.4 kernel and recompile, and it should work -- except maybe for the MODULE_LICENSE line which can be safely commented out. Arjan, are there still cards that don't work without promisc mode enabled? I got two different versions myself and both work very nicely with the latest xircom_tulip_cb. Thanks, Ion -- It is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
