Wireshark has no notion of "supported hardware", as it relies on other  
software (libpcap/WinPcap) to talk to the networking hardware.

For Windows, WinPcap, in turn, relies on the NDIS framework in the OS,  
and on the driver for the hardware.

There is a list that a third party maintains of WinPcap support for  
various network adapters:

	http://www.micro-logix.com/WinPcap/Supported.asp

Their list is at least partly based on user submissions.  However, for  
at least a couple of the adapters I looked at, the site doesn't seem  
to indicate whether promiscuous mode is supported.

which refers you to that list.
