Anyone know a good packet sniffer program?

I have been playing around with wifi stuff lately, and am wondering if anyone knows a good packet sniffer with WM5 support? There is a program called Phatnet, but it doesn't run in promiscious mode unless you pay $300 (and I am not sure if phatware is even making/supporting it anymore).

I came across a german (I think) program before, but can not find it again.

I think this might be the developer you are thinking of:

One of the products is NetDump, which is a sniffer - but no idea if any of these are WM5 capable ...

Hey Patrickj,

That is exactly the program I was looking for. I demoéd it on mobile 5, and it seemed to work, but then started working with Phatnet as it seemed to have more functions, but withuot promiscious mode, it is sort of useless.

Thanks!

Cool - glad that was the right one. And wow, if that works OK on WM5, I will be trying it out real soon too ...
