I tried booting to a 2.4.1 kernel that I had kicking around, and I have
the same result: ifconfig doesn't report the PROMISC(uous) status on my
ethernet interface when I start tcpdump on it.

My kernel configuration has no modules enabled, everything I need I just
compile into the kernel.

I'll compile 2.2.18 and see what results I get.
