Hi,

I came through project Dingo, and began some documentation work on the 
M_PROMISC item.

If I don't misunderstand what I read, M_PROMISC is used to allow 
promiscuous mode work on VLANs, especially when there is multicast. (And 
of course, it has nothing to do with the Solaris' one:
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/sunay?entry=the_solaris_networking_the_magic)
Am I right, or should I search somewhere else ?
For the moment, I found it only in src/sys/net/if_ethersubr.c of netbsd.


If it's already done, or near to be done, please let me know.

Thanks
