Linux Network in Promiscuous mode

To configure a network card to work in promiscuous mode you need to put the following in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

BOOTPROTO=static

DEVICE=eth1

ONBOOT=yes

TYPE=Ethernet

PROMISC=yes

USERCTL=no

PEERDNS=no

HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

Change eth1 and the hardware address (HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) to reflect your system.
