There is a significant enough portion of Xircom cards that have that particular quirk, that relegating the option to a not-enabled-by-default setting would mean some people's cards flat out don't work by default with the driver. Ugly user support issue, even if it is easily solved.
I am hoping that Ion's changes make unconditional promisc mode unnecessary..
