Snort will automatically set the port to promisc mode on all platforms, 
including both Linux and Windows. You shouldn't need to manually set the 
port to promisc on any platform.

If you really want non-promiscuous sniffing, you need to pass the -p 
parameter to snort to disable the default behavior of forcing the interface 
into promisc mode.
