ToHostSniffers not working ?

[Brecht Vermeulen]

hmmm,

I tested it once again with a 100 Mbit/s card (tulip driver) and it
works.

It seems to be specifically for the e1000 driver (the one in the Click
tree).

Does anyone have an idea about this ? Is the architecture of the patch
of the e1000 driver different than the tulip one ?

regards,
Brecht
