add readme for vmware

jpetazzo commented 10 years ago

Two suggestions:

  1. use ip link instead of ifconfig to set promiscuous mode
  2. can we check if we're running on vmware, and enable that only if needed?

(I think that if we enable promisc unconditionally, it will have adverse performance effects on real physical machines...)

I think only promisc network card can receive different mac packet.

jpetazzo commented 10 years ago

I'm not 100% sure, but if I remember well, most modern NICs have multiple mac filters, used for virtualization-like scenarios (macvlan and others) as well as multicast.

See for instance e1000.
