However, you seem to have a weirder problem on your BSD box as your NIC is using ARP's broadcast address as it's MAC address (?!?) > % dmesg | grep al0 > al0: <ADMtek AN985 10/100BaseTX> rev 0x11 int a irq 5 on pci0.11.0 > al0: Ethernet address: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff > al0: autoneg complete, link status good (full-duplex, 100Mbps) > al0: promiscuous mode enabled Having never seen this before, are both NICs on your LAN set for and running at full-duplex? Does "dmesg" make a difference if you stop your "tcpdump", as I think that's why the NIC is showing in promiscous mode.
