Ok, the $10k question. Has anyone gotten Ethereal to work with Windows in true wireless promiscuous mode (monitor)? Not associated with an AP and sniffing the traffic.

I read through Ethereal's site and it says that it pretty well won't work with Orinoco cards. I went to WinPCap and it indicated it was hit or miss.

I searched through the forums and saw the obvious choices of NA and Wild Packets. But for this question, I am looking for Ethereal info.

So, does anyone have any info on this? What combo of OS, card, firmware, drivers, etc has worked with Ethereal?

This is Windows only obviously.
