 slave interfaces

Hi Andrew

Sorry for the previous mails due to my error mail format setting on browser.

I have reproduced the tcpdump issue in my env, but not sure if it is the
same issue as you mentioned.
Ifdown a slave interface which is under tcpdump capturing will also decrease
the master's promiscuous twice.

So when I do:
a) tcpdump -i ethx
b) ifdown ethx
c) ifup ethx
d) goto a
for several times the promiscuous count of master will go negative.
