Hello guys,

I'm a security consultant and I have a laptop running the following wireless adapter - Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection. Today I just have updated it to the latest driver, however, I'm unable to find how I can put this interface in promiscous/monitor mode. Dos anybody knows how I an do that?

My objective is to capture all network packets sent from all hosts conected into the same access point, even those packets not sent to me.

Thanks,

Bruno

based on this documentation (http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/whitepapers/admin_tool_wp.pdf http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/whitepapers/admin_tool_wp.pdf) - page 13, promiscuous mode can be achieve by using airmagnet sniffer
