Yeah.  Set the ifc to no ip and then brought it up.  Then we set up a
switch monitoring port to receive all the traffic.  Keep in mind this
is in an enterprise-level production environment.  We weren't just
trying to sniff our girlfriends'...traffic.  ;-)

I don't know of anything specifically.  But the setup should be
basically the same as in the article, except for the interface config
and snort installation.  Just use net-cfg eth1 (or whatever) to
configure the iface, use 0.0.0.0 if it forces you to put in an IP.
ifconfig should also work.  Emerge snort, then pick up from there.

HTH.  If I had a box with 2 NICs I'd test it for you.  ;-)
