Shouldn't this be:

	if (ipf->if_flags & IFF_PROMISC) {
		ipf->if_flags &= ~IFF_PROMISC;
		log(LOG_INFO, "%s%d: promiscuous mode disabled\n", ifp->if_name,
ifp->if_unit);
	}

Or is the test for IFF_PROMISC made earlier in the code?  You
should only print a disabled message when it has previously
been enabled so that log file watchers can always match up
the up/down pairs.

Niall
