Bug#486442: linux-image-2.6.25-1-iop32x: Thecus n2100: RTL-8169 network card receives multi/broadcast packets only in promiscous mode
Francois, we received the following bug report regarding the rtl 8169
driver with 2.6.24 and 2.6.25. This is on a Thecus N2100, the ARM
device that has caused lots of headache in the past but seems to be
working fine for most people apart from this bug report.
Here's the bug report:

> Both cards work strangely: they refuse to receive broadcast, multicast packets and ARP responses when not in promiscous
> mode, while they're able to respond to ARP requests, so I'm able to use the network when interfaces are statically
> configured.

> I suppose that network dump is useless in this case, as merely running tcpdump makes cards work fine, so I'm pretty out of
> ideas what should I add to the bug report :)
