If you want to pass flags to the driver, then add "options eth0 ..."
with the driver's flags in /etc/modules.conf.  I don't believe that
"options" include promiscuous mode.

If you want to trigger a script when the device comes up, you can also
do that in /etc/modules.conf.  Look at the way that the sound card gets
its volume configured...  Use something like:
post-install eth0 /root/bin/setup-eth0 start
pre-remove eth0 /root/bin/setup-eth0 stop
