I have an atheros chip in my laptop and I can do both modes.
If just monitor mode is supported, I can do most of the penetrations/
sniffing anyways.

Hey
There is an email from Andy Green in March saying says we don't have
monitor mode, which I think means no promiscuous mode.
AFAIK monitor mode and promiscuous mode are two different things.
Monitor mode makes the card receive everything going over the air, not
just packets with its SSID, while promiscuous mode allows you to
receive IP traffic not destined for you (in a network connected with a
hub, when you use a switch, things get interesting with ARP hijacking
and the like)
Cheers,
Federico
