    Hello, all.

    I have operated redhat linux 7.x whcih kernel is 2.4.26.
    When I run tcpdump or snort, the dmesg is seen like below.

    "device eth0 entered promiscuous mode"

    and when I stop tcpdump or snort, the dmesg is seen like below.

    "device eth0 left promiscuous mode"

    But I can't find PROMISC message when I execute ifconfig while tcpdump or
    snort.

    Why the result of the dmesg and ifconfig is different?

    Thanks in advance.
