promiscuous mode meaning in English

混杂方式
混杂模式

There are several problems in bpf yet , one is : a bpf file that does not request promiscuous mode may receive promiscuously received packets as a side effect of another file requesting this mode on the same hardware interface
Bpf还存在几个问题，其中一个问题是：在以太网的情况下，如果一个进程把网卡设置成混杂模式，另一个打开一个bpf文件但没有请求混杂模式的进程在此网卡上监听的时候，也会收到混杂模式下不是给本机的数据包。
Though the problem can be remedied by all bpf files assuming that the interface has been set into promiscuous mode and utilizing a filter to reject foreign packets , this has not thoroughly solved the problem and will trouble programmers to add many special instructions . this paper includes a solution to this bpf ' s problem , and the solution has been implemented on freebsd 4 . 7 , as a result , it also makes bpf provide a better interface to application program
目前为补救这个问题，在对bpf编程时，应用程序都要假定以太网卡已经被设置成了混杂模式，从而应该在它的过滤程序中添加许多专门的语句来过滤混杂模式下的外部数据包，这样做虽然能大致解决(并没有完全解决)此问题，却给对bpf的编程造成了相当大的麻烦。
