Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] promiscuous mode on a wireless card with a router as the access point

[Terra Frost <terrafrost@xxxxxxxxx>]

For wired network connections, promiscuous mode only works if you're 
connected into a hub.  If you're connected into a switch, it won't.

The Linksys WRT54G - the access point I'm using - has a built-in switch, 
however, I'm not sure if this built-in switch is for wired networks, 
only, or if it's for wireless networks, as well.  If it's for wireless 
networks, then that'd probably explain why I can't enter into 
promiscuous mode, however, what would let me enter into promiscuous mode 
for wireless networks, then?

Linksys has a stand-alone access point (WAP54G), however, the page on 
Linksys' website that discusses it doesn't mention anything about a hub 
or a switch.  Does that mean that wireless access points don't even use 
hubs / switches?
