There exists a bug in which the driver does not correctly exit overflow promiscuous mode. This can occur if "too many" mac filters are added, putting the driver into overflow promiscuous mode, and the filters are then removed. When the failed filters are removed, the driver reports exiting overflow promiscuous mode which is correct, however traffic continues to be received as if in promiscuous mode still. The bug occurs because the conditional for toggling promiscuous mode was set to only execute when promiscuous mode was enabled and not when it was disabled as well. This patch fixes the conditional to correctly execute when promiscuous mode is toggled and not just enabled. Without this patch, the driver is unable to correctly exit overflow promiscuous mode.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
