Don't know, but I think there is an option you can put in your interface file to bring it up in promiscuous mode. Try that and see if NM can grab it on boot.
There used to be a PROMISC=yes setting I could have used int the ifcfg-wlan0 file but is now unsupported according to /usr/share/doc/initscripts-8.45.30/sysconfig.txt.
Thanks for trying though as it is appreciated.
Create a simple S09 script (eg S09PROMISC) which basically just does "/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 promisc up"
eg create this as /etc/init.d/PROMISC and then do "chkconfig PROMISC on"
#!/bin/sh
# PROMISC puts wlan0 in promisc mode # # chkconfig: 2345 09 91 # description: puts wlan0 in promisc mode
case "$1" in start) touch /var/lock/subsys/PROMISC
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0 promisc up
;; stop) # Do nothing rm -f /var/lock/subsys/PROMISC ;; status|restart|reload) # Do nothing ;; *) echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|status}" exit 1 esac
exit 0
It might work... who knows :-)
