I don't know what type of traffic you're dealing with, what commands you're using etc. Enabling promiscuous mode essentially bypasses any hardware MAC address matching that your controller does and thus lets everything in. Since that works, the driver is probably fine, and I suspect that you haven't properly configured a valid unicast MAC address. regards, Ben
