That cant be determined by that info, it's just that the driver creates its own process (some people say the cards suck because of that and that they can be real cpu hogs) - it doesnt say anything about the nic running in promisc. mode or not. Only source would be /var/log/messages or dmesg : Jun 3 10:45:36 p90 kernel: device eth0 entered promiscuous mode Jun 3 10:45:40 p90 kernel: device eth0 left promiscuous mode I thought ifconfig shows it as well but apparently it doesnt or I dont find the proper switch.

Is it a Realtek 8139 perhaps?
Yes
Then this is normal behaviour of the 8139too driver.
but why does it do that, does it mean that it is in promiscuous mode or not?
