I have the same problem.  Debian 2.2 and 3.0 systems with 2.4.18
kernels.  Interestingly, if I DON'T use "-D", the interface stays in
promisc mode, however, I need these probes to be running in the
background.

I "solved" it by adding "ifconfig eth0 promisc" to the startup script,
immediately after starting snort.  :P
