Is this a driver problem? Bringing an interface down does not disassosciate the IP addresses confiured to that interface from the system. Therefore, it is perfectly legal for other interfaces to receive and process packets for IP addresses configured to that interface you have brought down. You must explicitly delete IP addresses from the interface you no longer wish the system to respond to. Alternatively, you can unload the device driver for that interface which will flush the IP address list for the devices driven by that driver. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
