Gentlemen, When I run tcpdump, /sbin/ip shows PROMISC, but /sbin/ifconfig does not. This is on recent RedHat and MDK boxes, at least. Alan Cox also noted that "ifconfig eth0 promisc" causes /sbin/ifconfig to show PROMISC. Somewhere, interface flags are not being propagated/shared correctly? This is on a 2.4 kernel. /sbin/ip uses netlink to get the flags (ifi_flags), and /sbin/ifconfig uses SIOCGIFFLAGS.
