Do you believe, that this functionality can go into FreeBSD sources? > BTW: are you putting your NIC into promisc mode using ifconfig?

For PPPoE I use a vlan interface, and parent and sibling are marked PROMISC. I don't know, where it comes from: dhcpd, rtadvd, ...? Conclusions? 1. My patch may not work, because it may require PROMISC mode. I will test this. 2. Should we create a patch for mpd? (See discussion on freebsd-net). Thanks for your answer.
