| 144.Sh CAVEATS 145The 82586 has numerous defects. 146It may experience transmit-side 147errors when modern faster cpus send packets at it faster than it can handle. 148The driver (and probably the chip) does not support an all multicast mode. 149As a result, it can be used with applications like 150.Xr mrouted 8 Pq Pa ports/net/mrouted , 151but it must go into promiscuous mode for that to work. 152The driver 153is slow to change modes from "normal" to promiscuous mode, presumably 154due to delays in the configuration code. | |
