How to capture data from a wireless adapter

Hi....


To capture data from ethernet card we have lot of tools
like ethreal and a packet capture library WinPcap.

My doubt is whether WinPcap support capturing wireless frames -with
NETGEAR WAB501 wireless adapter or Wireless PC card WAG511 v2 .
Or
do we need to write an intermediate NDIS protocol driver for this
purpose?

please comment on this topic...

thanks in advance...

Ethernet is Ethernet, Wireless past the Card is Ethernet so the combo
ethreal/WinPcap should work provided the specific card is compatible), you
might want to add this to the mix too,
