What are the options for packet capture using an iPaq 5550?

I've tried using vxSniffer but it reports that the iPaq's internal WiFi does not support promiscuous mode and, although no errors are reported, nothing is captured with an Avaya with Orinoco drivers.

Both MS and WiFiFoFum can see my AP using either the internal or Avaya NIC.

Airscanner is not an option as the 5550 runs WM2003.

I've heard mention of the next version of Airodump running on PPC but that's still some way off.

Options?

Thanks.
