Does Android tethering support promiscuous mode? Because my desktop computer doesn't have a wireless card, I'm tethering to my Android to connect to my Wi-Fi network.

I was wondering if Android supports promiscuous mode, so I can monitor my wireless network traffic?
IIRC you can't put an wireless interface in promiscuous mode when it's used. But this may not be true for all interfaces/chipsets/drivers.

You can install Shark for Root, which is a cut-down wireshark for Android. It does sniff on Layer 2 and above without promiscuous mode, so the results are not the same as sniffing with e.g. kismet. On the other hand you will be able to capture traffic even when tethered. It's maybe possible to set promiscuous mode on some android interfaces. Shark for Root should then be able to capture all packets that your W-LAN antenna receives.
