--- Comment #3 from peter.sopko+freebsd.org@backbone.sk ---
I tried capturing traffic on the ql0 interface when it is not set to promisc
mode using the command you suggested, but there appears to be absolutely no
traffic captured at all...

I took a look at the switch where the port is connected and the interface is in
an initializing state (but as soon as I put it to promisc mode it is up and
running perfectly)....

relevant switch configuration for reference:
> interface port-channel30
>   speed 10000
>   description mysql01
> 
> interface Ethernet1/41
>   lacp rate fast
>   description mysql01 - 1
>   channel-group 30 mode active
> 
> interface Ethernet1/42
>   lacp rate fast
>   description mysql-01 -2
>   channel-group 30 mode active

show interface output (~ 1 minute after I disabled promisc mode, enabled
tcpdump and cleared counters):
