Promiscuous mode doesn't work - e1000e-0.2.2 causes major problems with Virtual PC 5.1 and Virtual Switch

Description

On my Lenovo ThinkPad? T510, using e1000e-0.2.2.zip, Virtual PC 5.1, running WinXP and using Virtual Switch, cannot get a DHCP address. Then, trying to close VPC causes a system hang. This works better (I get an address, and I can access the internet, and my home LAN) using e1000e-0.1.8.zip, but it still hangs when I close WinXP.

NAT works, but sees a duplicate name on the network, for some reason. I can access the internet, and I can shut down WinXP.

VSWITCH requires promiscuous mode and promiscuous mode is not implemented in this driver. When I get some time I'll look into adding this feature.

I added promiscuous mode to this driver. It will be in the next release.

The driver supplied in e1000e-0.2.3.wpi fixes this problem.

Thanks.
