Using the 802.11a/b/g Adapter as a Normal
Network Adapter
When the Sniffer software is connected to the 802.11a/b/g wireless adapter,
the card operates in promiscuous mode and cannot participate as an active
member of the wireless LAN. However, when the Sniffer software is not
connected to the 802.11a/b/g adapter, you can use the adapter to participate
actively in a wireless network.
During a normal installation of the 802.11a/b/g wireless adapter, you are given
the option of configuring a profile for normal wireless network participation
(including configuring the ESSID, WEP keys, and so on). If you did not
configure these settings during the initial installation of the adapter (or if you
want to change the current settings), you can configure them later in either of
the following ways. However, do not make changes to the 802.11a/b/g
adapter’s configuration while the Sniffer software is running.
Using the Wireless Network option in the Control Panel.
Using the wireless adapter’s vendor-supplied configuration utility.
See the 802.11a/b/g card vendor documentation for details.
