Having read somewhere that the AWUS036NHA was a good unit for monitoring in promiscuous mode, I bought one. But, I am not seeing anything on it at all. Not even the traffic in and out of this computer. The LAN and the Intel chipset both work as expected. This is on W7 64 bit. Am I missing something obvious in the configuration? Might it work on XP? 32 bit? Linux? Does anyone have one working? Thanks in advance. asked 21 Nov '12, 19:15  GeoNomad |
One Answer:
Monitor mode on Windows is "tricky" (means not possible in most cases).
I recommend BackTrack. There are a lot of tutorials how to use the Alfa with BackTrack. The BackTrack community is also quite active. Regards answered 22 Nov '12, 03:03  Kurt Knochner ♦ |
