Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [e1000 VLAN] Disable vlan hw accel when promiscuous mode

From: "Joonwoo Park" <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2007 09:51:20 +0900

IMHO even though netdevice is in the promiscuous mode, we should receive all of ingress packets.
This disable the vlan filtering feature when a vlan hw accel configured e1000 device goes into promiscuous mode.
This make packets visible to sniffers though it's not vlan id of itself.
Any check, comments will be appreciated.
Thanks.
