Supported Hardware

OmniVirtual

Ethernet

OmniVirtual will run with a NDIS 3 or higher compatible Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit promiscuous mode virtual network adapter. Promiscuous mode is the ability to have OmniVirtual take over the driver and put it into a mode that will allow it to passively capture all packets on an Ethernet wire, regardless of the address to which they are being sent/received.

Wireless

For wireless packet capture, OmniVirtual requires the installation of a special driver corresponding to the supported wireless network adapter. For more information on Wireless Drivers please visit: OmniVirtual Wireless Drivers Page.

Tip of the Month
Pump Up The Volume
If you are using WildPackets® OmniEngine or WildPackets® Omnipliance, chances are you are interested in collecting, storing, and analyzing very large volumes of packet data. The key word here is VOLUME! On highly utilized gigabit or 10 gigabit links, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of packets can be collected in just a few seconds. Processing that many packets takes a lot of horsepower, and OmniEngine is strong enough to handle the flow in most cases. However, every computer system has its limits, so you need to know how to maximize the packet volume that OmniEngine can accommodate. Here are some best practices to consider when setting up your capture options.
