I did that and this doesn't appear to work. I believe that Petr may be
right. However, I do remember one of the Brian's talking about doing
this in some of their material. Maybe the promiscuous mode is a
specific to a certain module or router platform. Interesting.

Or you can disable route cache in all interfaces and do a debug ip
packet
dump

You clearly need to set interface to promiscuous mode :)

while it seems to be "possible":

R1#show controllers fastEthernet 0/0 | inc Promisc
  Promiscuous Mode Disabled, PHY Addr Enabled, Broadcast Addr Enabled

I'm still looking for a way to enable that :)) Maybe that is some
undocumented command. You see, routers are rarely used as
packet sniffers :)
