Sorry. I've exhausted the limits of my expertise. However, it does seem possible that the limitation here isn't in pcap, but is in the driver (since that's the only thing that changed). If the driver doesn't support promiscuous mode, the fact that the layer above and below it (net card and pcap) both do support it probably doesn't matter.
Is it possible that the older driver just didn't fail when promiscuous mode was requested? I know you said that it used to work, but I remember when I first started using pcap (not that long ago), I thought I was getting p-mode even though I had disabled it. Turns out I was just misinterpreting the dumps. Not much help here, I know. But it's all I've got to offer. Perhaps the pcap author will chime in. dw -----Original Message----- From: Adam Steiner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 21, 2004 5:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [WinPcap-users] winpcap and the new Intel 2200BG drivers (Win XP Pro SP1) Interesting. I had tried it before (or thought I did) and it didn't work either. Now it does work. The next question is how to get it to operate in promiscuous mode. Before I upgraded my drivers it worked fine in promiscuous mode (that much I remember) and I'd like to get it to work that way here too. Any thoughts?
