       [-]promisc
              Enable  or  disable  the  promiscuous  mode  of the
              interface.  If selected, all packets on the network
              will be received by the interface.


So 'ifconfig eth0 promisc' will do the trick, assuming your 905 is the first
and only card in your system.

Next time read a manpage before asking basic systems administration
questions on a driver-developers list.
