But you seem to be saying that not only will monitor mode take it  
down (which is understandable), but that *promiscuous* mode will too.

This should not happen.  In fact with henWen running I can transfer  
data fast for short periods, but then it shuts down.  Any idea what  
about promiscuous is causing this?

Any idea whether it's the driver or microcode, or what?
