 * vmware:287 Using Virtual Ethernet Adapters in Promiscuous Mode on a Linux Host
 > VMware software does not allow the virtual Ethernet adapter to go into promiscuous mode unless the user running the VMware software has permission to make that setting. This follows the standard Linux practice that only root can put a network interface into promiscuous mode.
 >
 > One way to do this is to create a new group, add the appropriate users to the group, and give that group read/write access to the appropriate device. These changes need to be made on the host operating system as root (su). For example:
 > {{{
 > chgrp newgroup /dev/vmnet0
 > chmod g+rw /dev/vmnet0
 > }}}
 > If you want all users to be able to set the virtual network adapter (/dev/vmnet0 in our example) to promiscuous mode, you can simply run the following command on the host  operating system as root:
 > {{{
 > chmod a+rw /dev/vmnet0
 > }}}
  * Hostを再起動すると元に戻るので注意(udevの設定をする必要があると書かれているが未検証)

 * [http://communities.vmware.com/thread/21745 VMware Communities: Promiscuous Mode and LAN Segments]
 > Well, Linux host?  In that case it seems that code is using /dev/vmnet0 when it meets with PVN.
