>Description:
ng_bpf(4) teaches to use tcpdump(1) to generate raw BPF
instructions. However, the exact command line does not
include '-p' option. This may activate promiscous mode on
first ethernet interface, if any. This is not needed and
should not happen.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use example from bg_bpf(4) manual page and see pair of
'promiscuous mode enabled/promiscuous mode disabled' messages
in the kernel log.
