No this is pretty complicated, there are cases where the ioctl cannot read nor set the correct promisc state. For example some drivers must enable promisc mode if the want to do multicasting. Fiing this is best done by using the netdevice code. I had a longish discussion on net-dev, thats why i have written the comments in the bugs, that kernel wont fix it. You could try to locate some code which is reliable detecting promisc flag (however i wanted to keep netdev code out of the current releases of net-tools and reserve that to 2.x) So I am not sure what to do with those bugs until then. > The bug #64458 is very quite older... This is also a kernel "problem" because it has the notion of a primary alias. However we could close that with some detailed documentation. Unlike ip ifconfig does not show which the primary address is - thats most likely required before it can be closed. > Some of them is "fixed" but I believe that better is to close them i did that some time ago, it did not work, i jsut did it again.
