BusyBox v1.19.3 (2011-12-13 00:47:19 NOVT) multi-call binary.

"ip" is symlink to busybox binary

#ip link set dev eth0 promisc on
ip: either "dev" is duplicate, or "promisc" is garbage

expected: set promisc mode on interface. iputils version of "ip" works this way.

Yes, so far busybox's ip does not support "promisc".
Comment 2 Denys Vlasenko 2017-04-06 14:07:17 UTC 
Fixed in git.
