Title: capturing packets in promiscuous mode

RE:
    Hi, I am having a problem with ethereal, not sure if it is my card, or
    that I don't know what I am doing.  I am using windows2000, with a Dell
    Truemobile wireless card.  When I try an capture packets in promiscuous
    mode I only see incoming packets, but when I set promiscuous mode off,     i see both in and out packets.  However, I never see packets from any       other wireless devices like I expect to.  I am confussed. 

I experience the same thing. Anyone figure this out yet?
Thanks,
Dale
