Promiscous mode with smartphone
Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 5:23 am
HI.
I'm playing around with an ETEN M600 smartphone with the inbuilt Samsung swl-2455 wifi-card.
When using vxSniffer, I cant set it to promiscous mode, because the network card doesnt support it. Only "All local packets" & "Directed packets" can be used. When sniffing a network with Linux, I set the ethernet device to promisc (ifconfig eth0 promisc). I wont buy the vxSniffer product, unless it works as it should for my device.
Is that normal with PDA's and smartphones, or have I missed something???
