Hmm, promiscous mode is definetely working, otherwise tcpdump on my
routers wouldn't get any packages. Why you need to set excplicetely
the promiscous mode? Normally the application, like tcpdump, kismet
and brctl are doing the right thing for you.
Can you show us brctl show on a FreeWRT device configured like you
want? Are you sure you have installed brctl? It is not installed by
default.

How you configure the bridge?

Can you please give us your scripts to verify?
