wifi card with promiscouos mode support

#1 Post by vlastagf » Fri Jan 15, 2010 7:51 pm

Hi,
I've got a 14,1 inch T61. I need a WiFi card with primiscouos mode support so I can sniff for packets. But I just wasn't able to make my integrated 4965agn sniffing. So I'm looking for some external WiFi card which will support it. I would prefer a card fitting into the PC Card / Express Card slot. But if there's no other solution I would go for usb one. Would you please give me some tips for such devices? Thnx

I don't know of many sexually active WiFi cards. :lol:

Just kidding. Any wireless card can support promiscuous monitoring mode. It's not a limitation of the card, but the drivers that the manufacturer supplies.

The 4965AGN does support it. You need Intel's PROSet Drivers, and I believe it gives you the option to choose network monitoring during the install.
