I think you are. BPF uses ifpromisc() to enable promiscuous mode, and tcpdump uses that interface rather than setting IFF_PPROMISC directly, and without the patch I expect that that's a bit broken. There is perhaps an unrelated driver bug there. I wonder what flags get printed by ifconfig before and during your experiments. It'd also be useful to try enabling debug logging (sysctl dev.ax.0.axgbe_debug_level=1, I think) to see if axgbe_if_promisc_set() is getting executed as expected. > > > Cheers, > Franco > > ax0: <AMD 10 Gigabit Ethernet Driver> mem 0x80160000-0x8017ffff,0x80140000-0x8015ffff,0x80188000-0x80189fff at device 0.4 on pci6 > ax0: Using 512 TX descriptors and 512 RX descriptors > ax0: Using 4 RX queues 4 TX queues > ax0: Using MSI-X interrupts with 8 vectors > ax0: Ethernet address: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX > ax0: xgbe_config_sph_mode: SPH disabled in channel 0 > ax0: xgbe_config_sph_mode: SPH disabled in channel 1 > ax0: xgbe_config_sph_mode: SPH disabled in channel 2 > ax0: xgbe_config_sph_mode: SPH disabled in channel 3 > ax0: RSS Enabled > ax0: Receive checksum offload Enabled > ax0: VLAN filtering Enabled > ax0: VLAN Stripping Enabled > ax0: Checking GPIO expander validity > ax0: GPIO configuration valid > ax0: SFP detected: > ax0: vendor: FS ax0: part number: SFP-10G-T ax0: revision level: A ax0: serial number: XXXXXXXXXXX ax0: netmap queues/slots: TX 4/512, RX 4/512 > ax0: Link is UP - 10Gbps/Full - flow control off > ax0: link state changed to UP > ax0: xgbe_config_sph_mode: SPH disabled in channel 0 > ax0: xgbe_config_sph_mode: SPH disabled in channel 1 > ax0: xgbe_config_sph_mode: SPH disabled in channel 2 > ax0: xgbe_config_sph_mode: SPH disabled in channel 3 > ax0: RSS Enabled > ax0: Receive checksum offload Disabled > ax0: VLAN filtering Disabled > ax0: VLAN Stripping Disabled > ax0: promiscuous mode enabled > ax0: promiscuous mode disabled
