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 :-)
