 I have more complete patches since 2004 in my private tree for exactly
 the same DTAG reason;-)
 
 The very early versions are still around here:
  	http://sources.zabbadoz.net/freebsd/patchset/
 10005-10008* I think. But they are highly outdated.
 
 I can upload newer versions somewhen the next days.
 
 BTW: are you putting your NIC into promisc mode using ifconfig? I
 cannot see how you would receive the packets for a different MAC else?
