Hi,

I'm trying to put my ethernet interface into promiscuous mode and have all traffic sent to the netfilter prerouting hook. I've read documentation on line and in the source that says that traffic doesn't make it to netfilter until after foreign promiscuous packets are dropped though, which makes me think this will be a bit of a challenge. Any ideas?

Either I'm missing what you want to do, or the question doesn't make any sense. It doesn't matter if interface is in promiscuous mode or not. If apropriate Netfilter modules are loaded, packets will end up in prerouting chain (unless something in kernel drops them earlier, such as rp_filter).
