I know there is a way to do it under Linux, but how to do it in Windows!!
I've no idea - the standard drivers for wireless adapters don't work
very well with WinPcap. The problems are
1) there's no standard mechanism in Windows to turn on "monitor mode",
so neither WinPcap nor applications using it can run the adapter in
"monitor mode";
2) there's also no mechanism for providing 802.11 headers, so they
can't supply non-data packets (without a hack);
3) the driver writers do a really bad job of supporting promiscuous
mode (assuming the adapters do), so you might get *no* traffic in
promiscuous mode, or you might only see incoming packets in promiscuous
mode, not outgoing packets.
If you find anything out, please update the Windows section of
