My U10's hme returns tx frame to rx side, if media == 10baseT (both
autoselect and manual select), and no relation to promiscious mode.
(even if in non-promisc mode, ping{,6} to {broad,multi}cast address
 (e.g. x.y.z.255/24, ff02::1) will get *two* reply from my self)

In ping to unicast address case,
  if do tcpdump (=promiscious mode), *two* same packets is displayed.
  if do tcpdump with -p (=non-promisc mode), only one packet is displayed.

if under other conditions (media type), no tx frame to rx side.
