Sorry, that is not what I see with my own testing, and bug reports.

Under 2.2, IFF_PROMISC flag appears and disappears correctly in
/sbin/ifconfig.  Under 2.4, it does not.  I did not test 2.0.

This behavior likewise affects libpcap 0.6.2 (most people have not
upgraded to libpcap 0.7, so I'm told, due to at least a couple bugs in
libpcap)
