Subject: [LARTC] newer iproute2: no support for "ip link set dev $DEV promisc on"
Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2003 19:05:01 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-lartc-106935559129366@msgid-missing> (raw)


Greetings all,

I have tried to find a discussion of the removal of support for the
PROMISC interface flag with the iproute2 tools.

  - it used to work (iproute2-2.2.4-$ANCIENT)
  - there's a comment about it in the iproute docs [0]
  - (un-)setting the flag with ifconfig still works

Can anybody point me to the discussion (linux-net, maybe?) where support
for setting the PROMISC flag was pulled from the "ip" utility.  I'd like t
understand a bit better why this is so.

Thanks for any answers,

-Martin
