I recently installed Win 7 on a new laptop and am having trouble running
Wireshark in promiscuous mode using WinPCap. The NIC is Atheros AR9285 which I
thought was supported. Originally I was using the default Microsoft drivers
for the card after installing windows 7. I installed Wireshark / WinPCap but
could not capture in promiscuous mode. I then installed the Atheros drivers,
uninstalled and reinstalled Wireshark / WinPCap but still no luck. Now when I
start Wireshark in promiscuous mode to capture, it says "The capture session
could not be initialed. Failed to set device to promiscuous mode. Please
check that the device /device/npf_{...} is the proper interface".
Does anyone know what the problem might be? does it have to do with the fact I
had installed wireshark / winpcap before installing the Atheros drivers? Is
the Atheros AR9285 not supported in WinPCap 4.1.1? Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling winpcap and wireshark.
I've restarted computer several times. Tried running 'net stop npf' 'net start
npf' as administrator, etc. but no luck yet.
