I have NPCap installed (equivalent to WinPCap, but for Windows 10 that doesn't support the WinPCap driver), and I know it supports promiscuous mode, but I don't know if it is capable of enabling monitor mode in wifi adapters that support monitor mode, or if I need to install a special hacked driver for that specific wifi adapter to replace its normal driver in order to enable monitor mode. Now here's what I'm not completely sure about, regarding monitor mode in Windows (and yes, I've heard that it is possible). In a network, promiscuous mode allows a network device to intercept and read each network packet that arrives in its entirety.
However, I don't think most cards support monitor mode (at least not in Windows, but I heard that it's easier to do in Linux). In this mode, it a network card receives all wi-fi packets, not just those associated with the currently connected network (and I don't even think that a network card can connect to a network the standard way when in monitor mode). Promiscuous mode works on pretty much any wired network card in Windows and Linux (or other Unix like Operating System), but not all wireless cards support it properly (like Intels Centrino 802.11g chipset know as IPW2200). But there's another mode also that some cards support, but others don't it seems (and mine might not it seems), and this mode is called monitor mode. Wireshark /Ethereal, ARPSpoof, Ettercap, ARP poisoning and other niceties. In WireShark software there's promiscuous mode, which lets you monitor all packets on the currently connected wireless network (rather than just those intended for your computer).
