How does the mirred action deal with that case? How does it know that
packets delivered to the DSA master should be sent towards a foreign
address, do I need to set-up two mirred rules? One that set-ups the
filter on say sw0p0 to redirect egress to eth0 (DSA master) and another
one to ingress filter on eth0 and egress mirror to eth1 (USB ethernet
dongle)?
