This is the same reason why Promiscuous mode is never reported by "ifconfig" in Solaris 2.0 and later. In Solaris, ifconfig primarily (or perhaps only) deals with the "IP (or other network stack) plumbing" on devices; in that context the "promiscuous" flag has no meaning either. A number of Solaris device drivers export the fact whether they're promiscuous using the "kstat" (kernel statistics) interface; unfortunately not all devices support that yet. $ kstat -p :::promisc elxl:0:elxl0:promisc off We need to fix this for most SPARC hardware still.
