I'd certainly like to see messages from the driver when the
card enters/leaves promiscuous mode,


egrep "promiscuous mode" net/core/dev.c | grep printk


Yeah, but dev_mc_upload() doesnt return any status ;).
(For those of us who distrust hw (Sorry Scott! :))).

But it was just my example, I assure you. I'm not
holding up a flag in the wind on this particular nit.
I do see positives in the feature as a whole though.
It would be a shame to get grounded for minor things..

thanks,
Nivedita
