Sorry, that is not what I see with my own testing, and bug reports.
Under 2.2, IFF_PROMISC flag appears and disappears correctly in
/sbin/ifconfig. Under 2.4, it does not. I did not test 2.0.
This behavior likewise affects libpcap 0.6.2 (most people have not
upgraded to libpcap 0.7, so I'm told, due to at least a couple bugs in
libpcap)
