<DIV><FONT size=2>There is no way to know that. Basically, if such request
fails, you know that promiscuous mode is not supported. If the request succeeds,
the miniport is *supposed* to support promiscuous mode.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>What is the exact traffic that you capture when you go into
promiscuous mode with your card? Which packets are missing? Please consider that
in the best case you will be able to see the packets sent on the specific
channel your wireless network card is currently using (i.e. the channel used by
the AP you are associated to). If for example your network card is not
associated to any AP, I don't have a clear idea what you will be able to capture
in promiscuous mode, as the card is probably hopping among channel to do network
scanning, or even in low power mode.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>The card (i.e. the hardware) supports promiscuous
mode, but probably the driver (provided by the card manufacturer)
doesn't. WinPcap just sends a request to the NIC driver to enable
promiscuous mode. It's entirely possible that the NIC driver returns
success, but fails to deliver all the packets anyway.</FONT></DIV>

<TD vAlign=top>HI<BR>Thanks for reply. I have solved
the previous problem by adding static MAC Address in
arp talble. now the problem is that my wifi card in
not capturing packets in promiscusous mode my wifi
card is DWLG122(D link) and it support promiscuous
mode when i see the log the card goes into
promiscuous mode but it is not capturing packets
that are not destined to it. Any help in this regard
i have open the card using pcap_open_live(). I am
using fedora 7<BR><BR>
