promiscuous mode means the ethernet NIC grabs ALL packets, not just the ones addressed to it. This is typically done by packet sniffers.

 Hi,

 I have a problem with my ethernet adapter (fxp)...

 When a run 'dmesg',  look:

 fxp: promiscuous mode enabled
 fxp: promiscuous mode disabled
 fxp: promiscuous mode enabled
 fxp: promiscuous mode disabled

 I didn't find it in fxp's manual...


What's it ...
