Subject: Re: SOCK_RAW does not receive broadcast (with VLAN unless PROMISC)

9Jun09, The problem was seen with eth1 using driver e1000e, but also
was reproduced on 3c59x, to me it seems that the problem is not
related to a specific nic driver.
VLAN is running for other NICs, but on the application specific nic
(eth1) I use PF_PACKET (SOCK_RAW) , in order to get  the raw-packet
from the underlying device, and this start working again (like in
older kernel) as soon as the application set the socket to PROMISC
mode.
Thanks Gil
