3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] initializes in promisc mode

Hi,

It seems as if the chip of the 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (driver
3x59x.o) by default initializes with promisch mode.
(The chip itself. The PROMISC flag is not shown in the ifconfig <dev> output).

I send arp-request packets with a destination mac of ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:fe to
several linux machienes with that driver and all of them replied to the packet.

I seems that promisc mode has to be disabled explicitly after initialization
of the nic's chip.


Hope i could help.
