John:

Snort will put the interface into promiscuous mode automatically. Just
specify the correct interface either at shell or in the snort.conf file.

NIC configuration parameters are stored in directory
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, in file(s) named ifcfg-ethn, where n=number
of interface, starting from 0.  If two cards, usually 0 and 1 so the files
would be ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1.
