I am trying to set my nic to promiscuous mode at start up but can't seem to figure out how to do this. On Sun Solaris and Linux, I can manually set the card to promiscuous mode by running "ifconfig [interface] promisc". This doesn't seem to work on FreeBSD. When I want to start a nic in promiscuous mode at boot time, I can put a similar line in the rc files on Sun/Linux but since the "promisc" argument doesn't work with ifconfig on FreeBSD, I'm at a loss as to what to do here also. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you, R. Woolard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
