What does promiscuous mode do?

The promiscuous mode of a USB port allows the data to be received by the USB port regardless of if there is an attached device.

This is useful for receiving the data on a hub. The downside is that any devices connected to the hub will receive the data.

How do I use this? How do I get a list of available modes for a particular device? grep xxxx. Where xxxx is the device id of the device you want to see the modes for. Grep x00A Should show you the available modes for the device with the id of x00How do I switch to a particular mode?

How do I turn off promiscuous mode in Wireshark?

My friend sent me a Windows XP laptop with a wireless network card, and I've been testing my wireless router's security using Wireshark.

The first thing I did was to turn promiscuous mode on. As expected, Wireshark captured all the network traffic going between my laptop and the router.

I was rather excited about this. After all, it would be very easy for me to see who is on the network and what they are doing.

Now, I don't have a problem with that. However, when we tested the security of our wireless network, we wanted to be able to determine if someone on our network was trying to access our internal network using wireless devices. So, we disabled the promiscuous mode on our router.

The only problem is that the moment I disable promiscuous mode, Wireshark no longer captures the wireless traffic. Of course, if you ask me, there's no reason that promiscuous mode should stop Wireshark from capturing wireless traffic, so I tried changing some options. I even opened the Preferences dialog box and tried changing some of the settings. I also checked out the Wireshark Configuration Editor option.

However, I still can't get Wireshark to capture the wireless traffic. Does anyone know how to stop Wireshark from capturing wireless traffic? Is this a problem with Wireshark or a problem with Windows XP? If it's a Windows XP problem, I can think of two possible solutions. I can find a Windows XP update that disables promiscuous mode. I can find a way to install a second copy of Wireshark on my Windows XP laptop, and use that copy to capture the wireless traffic. However, before I look into either solution, I'd like to know if it's just Wireshark or if it's a Windows XP problem. I checked my Windows XP setup options and found that the only option that has anything to do with promiscuous mode is the Turn Off Security Settings option. So, I suspect it's a Windows XP problem. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
