Hi,

In my NDIS protocol driver I make a request to the NIC driver to set the
filter to PROMISCUOUS_PACKET_FILTER to receive packets with different MAC
address other than the card's MAC address.

Is there a way to configure the NIC driver to receive packets with specific
MAC address without using the promiscuous flag or a Multicast address?

Thanks,

Daniel

Yes, just set this specific address as the current MAC address
(using the standard registry override) and set the filter to DIRECTED.

Specific _dst_ address? no.

....and break everything around like TCP/IP.

Nope. Tcpip has its own filter.
