Supported Hardware

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.
