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
