next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I dont recall seeing this on RELENG_7, but I dont have a box to test with anymore confirm. On one box I upgraded to RELENG_8 I just noticed the nic will bounce if I enable tcpdump on it. Sure enough, trying on a different RELENG_8 box with an fxp nic shows the same result.
eg
tcpdump -ni fxp0 -c 20
fxp0: link state changed to DOWN
fxp0: promiscuous mode enabled
fxp0: link state changed to UP
fxp0: link state changed to DOWN
fxp0: promiscuous mode disabled
fxp0: link state changed to UP
I verified it on 2 different boxes. Is there a way to prevent this from happening ?
