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

[Yang Luo <hsluoyb () gmail com>]

Or is there any USB adapter that acts exactly like a built-in wireless
adapter (uses NDIS miniport as the driver) and supports features like
monitor mode, channel setting, etc. So I can buy one for development.


Cheers,
Yang
