I ported this from the NetBSD driver so I could do IPv6 on my 486 router at home ;). It also seems that the original ex might not have completely supported promiscuous mode, but that should be functional as well now. I'd appreciate if it some people who have one or more of these cards could test it and make sure it doesn't break anything. If you're using multicast routing or IPv6 and can give it a try in those environments to make sure it works as advertised, that would be even better. It seems to work fine on my cards which are mostly ISA Intel Pro/10s (00:aa:00) and a Pro/10+ (00:a0:c9). The patch should be applied in the sys/dev/ex directory. Please send me reports of any problems, no matter how small, along with your board type and version if available, and the first three MAC address octets. Code improvements are of course welcome also :) I've tried to match the style of the rest of the ex driver. I don't think the driver is quite style(9) compliant, but I wanted to keep the patch as simple as possible. I'll give it a week or two of testing and then submit to Matthew Dodd for his review after code freeze is over. Thanks!
