If you run the arp-scan tool cyclically, the kernel messages for promiscuous mode are very annoying. This backports an upstream patch to disable the unnecessary promiscuous mode in arp-scan. Signed-off-by: Martin Schiller <ms@dev.tdt.de>

+ * arp-scan.h: Disable promiscuous mode on the network interface.
|
|
+ Promiscuous mode is not required to receive ARP response packets
|
|
+ because they are unicast packets directed to the scanning host.
