Hi, for the nth time I send this email, hoping that majordomo won't eat

I know this has been extensibly discussed circa 2001, but I found that
there's still problems: in debian (at least) neither ifconfig nor ip
can tell that the interface is in promiscuous mode.
I know about the deprecation of IFF_PROMISC, but I couldn't find out
which is the current way of knowing the real state of the interface. I
want to fix ifconfig, so this is not an issue of
PACKET_(ADD|REMOVE)_MEMBERSHIP, I need to query the real device state.
I have the same problem. I think you can tell by looking at bit 0x100
in /sys/class/net/[ethX]/flags
Not exactly fun to use, but it seems to work.
Anyone know the reasoning for masking out the PROMISC flag
in dev_get_flags() ?
