------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-16 15:01 ------- This is still found in net-tools-1.60-5mdk. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: The following lines were recorded by the konsole terminal on my i686 PC running Mandrake Linux 9.0rc3: # dmesg -c &>/dev/null # tcpdump -i eth0 host 1.1.1.1 & [1] 2172 tcpdump: listening on eth0 # dmesg eth0: Promiscuous mode enabled. device eth0 entered promiscuous mode # ifconfig eth0 | grep UP UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 First, I cleared the kernel messages by calling "dmesg -c", and then I enabled the promiscuous mode of eth0 by calling "tcpdump" and verified that bye calling "dmesg" again. However, the status was not reported by "ifconfig", which should have reported something like UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 It seems the PROMISC status was not detected bye ifconfig :-(
