>Description:
the change described in [1] are working on my hardware :

pciconf -lv :
re0 at pci0:6:0:   class=0x020000 card=0x43001186 chip=0x43001186 rev=0x10 hdr=0x00
vendor     = 'D-Link System Inc'
class      = network
subclass   = ethernet

dmesg :
re0: <D-Link DGE-528(T) Gigabit Ethernet Adapter> port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xfe125000-0xfe1250ff irq 28 at device 6.0 on pci0
miibus0: <MII bus> on re0
rgephy0: <RTL8169S/8110S media interface> on miibus0
rgephy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseT, 1000baseT-FDX, auto
re0: Ethernet address: 00:11:95:61:d1:62
re0: [FAST]

it's a pci device into a dell poweredge 1600sc.

>How-To-Repeat:
try to tcpdump on re0 and see there is no packet not destinated to your host coming even if there actually is.

>Fix:
i reverted the commit, then remade and reloaded the driver as kld (i'm using a GENERIC kernel stripped of some devices) and now see those packets. however, if one does, the hardware has to be reseted to get in promiscuous mode which is also annoying.
