IFACE -i any problem

Hi, I'm sure this is an old issue, but I can't find a resolution. I've found posts that say libpcap has been able to listen on multiple interfaces for several versions now. I have a redhat 7.3 system with 5 nics, 4 of the nics cover multiple paths, 1 is a management interface. I only expect to capture packets on 2 of the promiscuous nics at any time. The IFACE=any option would be perfect for me. Snort 2.0 and the latest libpcap are both compiled from the latest stable sources. When I try to start snort with the -i any switch I have errors in /var/log/messages that say "modprobe can't find module any." Snort starts but then no longer sees traffic on any of the interfaces. If I start Snort on a single interface, say eth1, it works just fine. Can anyone point me in the right direction please. My searches keep turning up nada for a solution. Thanks
