commit 356d09baea53abb7f6a6aabf2264ba104cdb9b5b
Author: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk>

     Quick fix from Patrick to solve the VLAN promisc mode bug.

      Bisect'ed BUG in VLAN promisc mode

      All other VLAN interfaces stop working, if a vlan is taken down
      (ifconfig eth1.1025 down) _while_ there is a tcpdump running on that
      interface.

      The problem is a result of promisc mode being removed on the
      real-device (eth1), when the vlan interface is taken down.  This
      should not happen as other vlan devices exists that still need
      promisc mode on the real-device (eth1).

      Need promisc mode because VLAN devices uses another ether address.
