Hi,

I've got a Linksys WMP11 "Instant Wireless" PCI card running on
4.6-PRERELEASE:

 wi0: <Intersil Prism2.5> mem 0xf4200000-0xf4200fff irq 3 at device 11.0 on pci1
 wi0: 802.11 address: 00:06:25:a7:47:93
 wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI)
 wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.00.05, Station 1.03.04

I've got it working (talking to a MacOSX machine, ARP, ping, FTP,
ssh, etc. all work), but it only works when the interface is in
promiscuous mode!  i.e. I have to run tcpdump, and "tcpdump -i wi0"
makes it work, and "tcpdump -i wi0 -p" doesn't.

Is this an issue with the driver, or is it cockpit error on my
part?

-Paul.
