eth0 in promisc mode

hey
i saw a question in the Networking forum in which someone has a problem with his eth0 (NIC).
he cant set it back to non-promisc mode.

i know how to put a card into promisc mode (prog in C - you get the ifreq struct and set the promisc flag....).
how do i switch it back to non-promisc mode??

Never wrote any programs which changes the promiscuous mode of a network card. But I assume just clearing the IFF_PROMISC bit in the ifr_flags field, and then repeating the ioctl call should work.

:study: man ifconfig

probably : ifconfig eth0 -promisc

just a matter of fiddling around, shouldnt be to diffcult.
