Question about "promiscuous" mode

[Kathy Chen <kathy_ios () yahoo com>]

Hi, 

Sorry to bother you.
I want to know in what situations the machine's
network is set to "promiscuous" mode. For example, I
know when I execute "tcpdump" on my machine, it's set
to be in promiscuous mode. Any other cases?

And is it correct that without "tcpcump", the network
is not in promiscuous mode?

Thanks.
