- > 2) Is there a patch so the Sun can read it's own packets?
-
- This is fixed in SunOS 5.x; if a device is in promiscuous mode, the
- datalink drivers will wrap packets around to all open streams attached
- to that device that have "physical-level promiscuous enabled" (I assume
- this means that individual streams can request to hear everything or not
- to hear everything).
-
- And, yes, "streams" refers to STREAMS; I *did* say "SunOS 5.x"....
