I don't understand, what do you mean software configuration? A quick grep show that at least ath9k checks for the promisc filter: ath9k/htc_drv_main.c: (FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS | \ ath9k/htc_drv_txrx.c: * Set promiscuous mode when FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS is enabled for station ath9k/htc_drv_txrx.c: (priv->rxfilter & FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS)) || ath9k/main.c: (FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS | \ ath9k/recv.c: * Set promiscuous mode when FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS is enabled for station -- Kalle Valo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
