You can write a protocol driver to set the driver to P mode. Check out the
DDK for OID_GEN_PACKET_FILTER. I don't think you want to do this without
writing an NDIS protocol. Setting the driver to P mode without having a
kernel mode component (a stand alone protocol like Netmon or an IM protocol
driver like the protocol edge of the Bridge) is not useful.
