OKay, sorry for that. I was looking (2.6.29) on the output of /sbin/ifconfig which is installed on my system through net-tools-1.60-73 - seems like it ignores the IFF_PROMISC bit. Now, when looking on the device sysfs flags, I see now the IFF_PROMISC (0x100) bit being set. It turns out that this ifconfig is even more misleading, using $ ifconfig eth1 promisc and later -promisc makes the output to show as now the device is in the promiscuous state, and with -promisc as it doesn't - but in both cases, the IFF_PROMISC bit setting done by the bridge remains steady that is both interfaces connected to the bridge have the 0x1103 flags bit mask... As for my other question - is there a method to display dev->uc_list (e.g similar to /proc/net/dev_mcast)? thanks, Or. _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
