Hello all,
Playing with Xen on GNU/Debian Lenny, I just discovered that all my virtual network cards are in promiscuous mode by default. Changing that manually does not seems to change anything (that is, everything still works great).

Is there any reason to have virtual network cards in promiscuous mode ?
And where can I change this default behaviour ?

Thanks,
JB
