that wouldn't work.
consider that if you put your ethernet interface into promiscuous mode
(eg by running tcpdump) your machine's IP stack doesn't suddently start
interpreting every single ethernet frame as being for itself.
you'd need to modify your kernel to accept them all, be sure that
nothing else was going to take the packets and send them anywhere,
and probably some other major hackery. By which time it's probably
not worthwhile trying it this way.
