Subject:   how to configure nic with promiscuous mode

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
