Robert and Andrew,

thanks, that explains it. Now the next question is: Is anyone aware
of a matrix that shows which card currently on the market has driver
support for a) monitor mode, b) for promiscuous mode?

I have a Cisco 340 with hacked drivers that allow for promiscuous
mode. I have not checked it for monitor mode. It would be great if
someone already has a web page with a capability matrix....

Regards,
Frank
