Hi folks,

Maybe my Google-fu is failing me (and searching my archives of this list has 
failed me too)...  but has anyone got a recipe for passing through a physical 
NIC in a mode where it can go promiscuous mode to a SmartMachine?  Is that even 
possible with Crossbow in the middle?

Use case is monitoring span/port mirrors on a couple of switches, or maybe 
optical taps if I manage to find my junk box.  I see that Snort is in pkgsrc - 
don't know if that means people are running it just on a SmartMachine to 
monitor traffic to and from it, or if folks are actually running a full blown 
network IDS on SmartOS.

Thanks,

PS:  resend because I apparently previously sent from a non-subscribed address.
