I have a Dell Inspiron 9300 with an Intel 2915abg wireless centrino.
Intel advised they dont support promiscuous mode... 1 I am looking for a list of compatable wireless cards. 2 Would moving to linux change any ablity to monitor ??
Monitoring on wireless cards is usually very crippled under Windows, e.g. http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/win32/ (and the wiki page link) gives a good introduction why switching to linux is a good choice in this case.
As I don't do that myself, can't give you any further tips which cards could be recommended and alike.
