Hi Patrick, Bisected me down to one of you changes commit 6c78dcbd47a68a [VLAN]: Fix promiscous/allmulti synchronization races Description: ------------ All other VLAN interfaces stop working, if a vlan is taken down (ifconfig eth1.1025 down) _while_ there is a tcpdump running on that interface. The problem is a result of promisc mode being removed on the real-device (eth1), when the vlan interface is taken down. This should not happen as other vlan devices exists that still need promisc mode on the real-device (eth1).I'm pretty sure we fixed this already in commit 0ed21b32.
I think that I have tested including this commit. The first thing I did was to test with latest DaveM net-2.6 git tree. I'll test it later... perhaps during the hacking days... Need to pack.. See you soon! -- Med venlig hilsen / Best regards Jesper Brouer ComX Networks A/S Linux Network developer Cand. Scient Datalog / MSc.
