Distribution: Ubuntu 8.10

Hardware Environment:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. L1 Gigabit Ethernet
Adapter (rev b0)
Motherboard: ASUS P5QL PRO iP43

Problem Description:
Avahi (and probably all other multicast applications) doesn't work correctly
unless PROMISC flag is set on device.

Try resolving the hostname of the atl1 nic from another pc using avahi. It will
work sporadically at best. When promisc is enabled, it works perfectly.
