Re: Probably a simple question

You're not going to like this, but I bet  putting a wireless card into
promiscuous mode is going to be unsatisfying.  I suspect it's hard to get
it to actually accept the signal for all other cards, which would be the
equivalent of wired promiscuity.  If you want to monitor all other traffic
in and out of your access point, you'll probably need that to be
promiscuous, or settle for monitoring the LAN segment.

This is just a guess, based on what I know of 802.11.
