Hi folks,

A stupid question: when setup bridge, we are supossed
to use configure the interfaces to "promiscious" mode
like following:
...
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc up
ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0 promisc up
ifconfig br0 x.x.x.x promisc up
...

But I found if we don't use "promisc", the bridge
still works fine, can not find any difference using
ethereal to capture the packets. 
Any one explain this to me? Thanks 

Andrew
