  Hi,

  When a run 'dmesg',  look:

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

Programs such as tcpdump and snort will put the interface in promiscuous
mode.

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

Typical Intel ethernet nic behavior of every one ive ever had.  they do that 
in linux too.  i think its just part of its initialization routines or 
something.  it ends up in the disabled mode anyway, i dont think its worth 
worrying over.  :)

cheers,
jonathan

To add, most kinds of network statistic programs will put the card into
catch all mode...

i would try to watch the system messages, and in case it happens run a
ps to see whats happening... that in case, you have not started any kind
of program that does statistical network analysis or content grabbing...

If you run TCPDUMP on the NIC, you'll get the same
message on the console
