Does Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 support monitor mode on Windows?

Hi list,

I have switched to a new laptop as my workstation (the original one is
inaccessable any more). The wireless card is:
Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165

Unfortunately, I found I can't switch to monitor mode on this machine using
my WlanHelper.exe tool.

------------------------------------------------
C:\Windows\system32>wlanhelper wi-fi modes
managed

C:\Windows\system32>wlanhelper wi-fi mode monitor
Error: SetWlanOperationMode::SetInterface error, error code = 50
Failure
------------------------------------------------

50 means "*The request is not supported*".

Does it mean that I can't enter monitor mode any more? I didn't google out
any info that explicitly confirms that monitor mode is supported or not by
this card. Does anyone know this?


Cheers,
Yang
