Description
 RFE to add "promisc" or "mac_mode" to kstat for the hme driver.

This capability is important for customers , as described in CERT Advisory CA-94:01, in order to detect if intruder performing network monitoring of a interface has set promiscuous mode.

Other drivers have this feature, but the "hme" does not have it implemented.
