heya,
as for why you were going in and out of that mode -- were you using
any packet filtering/processing application like tcpdump or dsniff?
iptables might do that as well, but i can't say off the top of my head

iirc promiscuous mode means to listen to all traffic on the network
as opposed to only traffic addressed to the mac address of your ethernet
card. this is real useful for passively sniffing packets on your
network when you don't want to / can't run it on one of the machines

you have any network monitoring software installed? e.g. arp tracker,
network sniffer, snort, or some
