No. Nothing is broken. It is not an error message, but an informational one since promiscuous mode has security implications (someone can snoop the LAN). It is similar to say, successful 'su's being logged. You could stop it by messing with your syslog setup, but IMHO, it is easier to realize what the message means an just live on. -- Crist J.
