Hi, I am having a problem with ethereal, not sure if it is my card, or
that I don't know what I am doing.  I am using windows2000, with a Dell
Truemobile wireless card.  When I try an capture packets in promiscuous
mode I only see incoming packets, but when I set promiscuous mode off, i
see both in and out packets.  However, I never see packets from any other
wireless devices like I expect to.  I am confussed.
