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

I can say that sometimes you'd like to be aware that one of your
VLANs is wrong and you'd simply like to sniff the wire to guess the
correct tag. And on production, you simply cannot remove other
VLANs, otherwise you disrupt the service.

If you were plugged into the wrong physical switch, how might
you debug that problem in production? :-)

Really, it's the same issue, just virtualized, as in the name
for the feature, VLAN.
