Re: e100 promisc mode

["Peter Param" <pparam () stvincents com au>]

ahh..thank you very much!  2.1.15 version of the driver (as opposed to
2.1.6d) is working much much better!  :))

cheers

I would't go that far.  I believe I ran into this same bug that existed
in
v2.1.6 (and maybe other versions) of the e100 driver that broke promisc.
FYI, the Linux e100 driver is written and released by INTEL, not Compaq.

Try version 2.1.15, released on 8/22/2002.  Works for me...
