What about adding support for PROMISC yourself in an init script that
runs after "network". Maybe something like:
#!/bin/bash
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
interfaces=`ls ifcfg* | LANG=C egrep -v '(ifcfg-lo|:|-range|rpmsave|
rpmorig|rpmnew)' | \
LANG=C egrep -v '(~|\.bak)$' | \
LANG=C egrep 'ifcfg-[A-Za-z0-9\._-]+$' | \
sed 's/^ifcfg-//g' |
sed 's/[0-9]/ &/' | LANG=C sort -k 1,1 -k 2n | sed 's/ //'`
for i in $interfaces
do
PROM=$(egrep -i 'promisc' ifcfg-$i | awk -F"=" '{ print $2 }')
if [ "$PROM" = "yes" ];
then
/sbin/ifconfig $i promisc
fi
done
Or you can add support for it in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-
post, something like:
PROM=$(egrep -i 'promisc' ifcfg-${DEVICE} | awk -F"=" '{ print $2 }')
if [ "$PROM" = "yes" ];
then
/sbin/ifconfig ${DEVICE} promisc
fi
at the end of the file before exit 0.

Hi,
We need to configure a network interface on one of our machines so
that
it always gets set to promiscuous mode.
So far I have manually issued "ifconfig eth1 promisc" but I wouldn't
like to do this every time the interface has been brought down and up
again. According to /usr/share/doc/initscripts-7.93.25.EL/
sysconfig.txt
there used to be a "PROMISC=yes" option that could be used in the
"/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1" file but apparantely this
option is deprecated and the file reads "To properly set these, use
the
packet socket interface."
So far I haven't been able to find any documentation on this packet
socket interface. How can I configure this netwxork interface to
always
come up in promiscuous mode?
Thanks in advance.
