How is AirPcap different from other WLAN packet capture tools?
Most WLAN packet analyzers provide proprietary drivers that are based on driver source code provided by Broadcom, Atheros, and other wireless chip manufacturers. AirPcap provides its own promiscuous driver that operates independently from on-board NICs and their drivers, allowing AirPcap to work with the broadest range of laptops and desktop PCs possible. No other products provide 802.11 capture and transmission in a small package that can be easily moved between workstations. In addition, AirPcap is the only solution on the market that easily enables capturing packets from multiple 802.11 channels by simply plugging more than one USB adapter into a laptop or desktop PC.
