Installing Sniffer Portable
Supported Adapters and Sniffer Enhanced
Drivers
The Sniffer Portable Application CD includes Sniffer enhanced drivers for
supported network adapter cards. Enhanced drivers modify the adapter to
provide additional functionality to the card. For example, an enhanced driver
may enable you to view additional network data or improve Sniffer Portable
performance by capturing and decoding more traffic on busy networks. Later
chapters detail how to install the Sniffer enhanced drivers listed in Table 1-2.
Sniffer Portable works on a desktop PC with any Ethernet or Token Ring
network adapter with an NDIS 3.0+ driver. Sniffer Portable works on a laptop
computer with the Xircom CardBus Ethernet II 10/100 or Madge 16/4 Token
Ring CardBus (Mk2) with an NDIS 5.0+ driver. However, you must use a
supported adapter with a Sniffer enhanced driver to fully utilize all the features
of Sniffer Portable.
