JKi: I meant your emails and they whizzed by because I had already deleted the first couple of ones in this thread from my email box by the time I decided that I was going to respond to them. So, as it happens, yes, I had to go to the archives to look them up. Actually I've been following this email distribution since late 2015 because I'm hoping to, at some point in time, use FreeBSD on an ARM platform for HAM radio purposes. Consequently I think it's quite nice to see that with 11.0 the developers released the first FreeBSD images specifically aimed at various ARM architectures. > techniques, i.e. overriding the BIA of a NIC and configuring a NIC > into promiscuous mode, was made while such a dependency does not or at > least, to the best of my knowledge, should not exist. That's true, if you try this in Linux, you could use one of both techniques. You can override the MAC on boot or set the MAC on runtime. And this works on the fly. > have a NIC consider frames that aren't destined for the NIC's BIA > address as if they were, so I doubt that such a need exists today. Normally you shouldn't use the promiscuous mode for this. You only need it, if you use some kind of sniffing software for the whole network traffic, etc. Best regards, _______________________________________________ freebsd-arm@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-arm To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-arm-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
