By now stm32-eth crate always uses promiscuous mode on underlying ethernet peripheral. That means packets with all MAC addresses are allowed by hardware, requiring software to filter out packets by which MAC address should we accept. We can make use of STM32's hardware frame filter to allow only given MAC addresses or using its hardware bloom filter. In this way we reduce software overhead of processing network packets. :)
