[Winpcap-users] NPF Interface Problem - Atheros Promiscuous Mode

[russ421 at aol.com]

 Yes - it's wireless traffic I am looking at.  Atheros AR9285 is the wireless adapater, but still no luck.  I did check out those two links, but they didn't offer any solutions yet.  Like David Trout mentioned, the micro-logix links do not work, so I couldn't look at either of those.

Hi,

I've got no problems with this adapter:
Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet Controller(NDIS6.20)

64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2
wireshark: Version 1.3.3-SVN-31855
WinPcap version 4.1.1

Driver:
C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\L1E62x64.sys
Driver Date: 11-06-2009
Driver Version: 1.0.0.15


Are you trying to capture wireless traffic in promiscuous mode?
If so, please take a look at WinPcap FAQ and Wireshark Wiki:
http://www.winpcap.org/misc/faq.htm#Q-16

Best regards
Joan
