Thanks.

I've tried making my NIC to promiscues mode, but it seemed no any effect.
Did you mean I should make my NIC mac address to be 255.255.255.255.

My actual object is to find the code filtering mac address in ethernet
layer.
I've thought it's easy but I failed.

Do you know which source file the code is located in?
