I assume you are trying to keep people from sniffing, but they need root
access to an x86 *nix box on your network?
you may want to look at LIDS (http://www.lids.org/) which allows you to
do alot of groovy things to the linux kernel - including disabling
promiscuous mode. (or its even easier to disable with Free/Open BSD :)

are there any ethernet cards on the market that work well with linux, that
dont allow you
to go into promisc mode?
