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

When you select VLAN, you by definition are asking for non-VLAN
traffic to be elided.  It is like plugging the ethernet cable

For max functionality it seems like the raw eth device should show 
everything on the wire in promiscuous mode.

If we want to sniff only the traffic for a specific vlan, we can sniff 
the vlan device.
