Link failover does not work reliably. Carrier-detect appears to be
working, so I don't think that is an issue.


A disturbing problem is mac corruption after "modprobe -r r8169; modprobe 
r8169"

ip link sh:

2: eth5: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000
   link/ether 00:00:00:00:68:93 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
   link/ether 00:30:18:ab:68:94 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000
   link/ether 00:30:18:ab:68:95 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

eth5 mac was 00:30:18:ab:68:93 before the modprobe.

Can you revert patch #0012 and see if it changes this part of the problem ?

A tcpdump trace 1) before promiscuous mode 2) after promiscuous mode 3)
after link failure (i.e. failover does not work) would be welcome.

Not sure what's going on here, but I'm starting to think these
interfaces aren't the best in the world...

The maintainer/driver/hardware combination is a bit quirky at times
but it does not work too bad. :o)
