I have not seen hardware where setting promiscuous mode is a queued command. If you have such hardware, you may have to do some extra software filtering and accept missing some packets during transitions.
Every USB network adapter will need to queue such commands, unless they don't support such operations at all. So you have probably seen such hardware, without realizing it!
I just looked ... none of them do any extra filtering.
