in looking through the source for the driver, it seems from the comments
that when the card is in interrupt handler mode, it has to turn
promiscious mode on. I don't know why, but I do know that it never seems
to turn it off. I basically stuck a return in the enable_promisc function
before it does anything, and that cleared up all my problems.
I'm guessing this is not the correct solution (based on the comment), so
if someone who has a better idea of how network card drivers work, I'd
appreciate some insight.
thanks,
