Hello,

I'm struggling with broken network connectivity at VMs using linux
bridge at host after update of kernel from 5.17.x to 5.18.x @ Dell
R750 server with E810-XXV NICs.

I noticed the kernel reports "Error setting promisc mode" in dmesg.

# dmesg | grep 'Error setting promisc'

# lspci -s 0000:b1:00.0

Could it be a 'ice' driver bug?
