RKHunter - promiscuous interface

I have a fairly new server, I have run RKHunter on it before and it came up clean. I have had the server 'hardened' and now I've noticed this:

RKHunter reported that I have a promiscuous interface, so I ran it again telling to to log (as suggested):



[14:51:09] Checking network interfaces (promiscuous mode)... [ WARNING ]
[14:51:09] Possible promisc interfaces:
[14:51:09] Output test 1:
What does this mean? Is my server running around the data center flashing its interface at the other servers, distracting them from their tasks?

The log doesn't really say much.
