If so, can i know the product, its better if it comes with a chipset
that supports promiscuous mode.

    I suspect that you mean, is there a Wireless Access Point or
Wireless Router that handles all three 802.11 modes (a/b/g). I saw a
Wireless Access Point on Ebay that handled all three. Unfortunately,
it was rather expensive. Sorry I can't remember the make.

    Good luck.

Of course. Netgear has at least one

You'll have to do some digging...

First I assume that by "PCMCIA" you really mean Cardbus. (PCMCIA was
an older PC card standard which does not provide enough bandwidth for
"54Mbps" 11a/11g applications.)

There are many Cardbus cards that support 802.11a/b/g including the
Cisco Aironet CB21AG and the Linksys WPC55AG.

Next question is about promiscuous mode. Assuming you're using
Windows, the main issue there is that Windows drivers normally
prevent promiscuous operation. There exist for-$$ wireless
packet capture software packets (such as the relatively inexpensive
Commview for Wifi) that will allow a Windows PC promiscuously to
capture wireless packets. I am not aware of any such free
software worth mentioning.

Hi,
   there were a few mistakes in my last mail, i am looking for
802.11a/b/g 'PC card' with support for '802.11h', it should better
support promiscuous mode.
      Thanks

           greenhorn.
