[Winpcap-users] Is there a comprehensive list of NICs that WinPCap supports?

MicroLogix has *a* list of network adapters with information about  
WinPcap support:

However:

...many of them are still not able to capture Ethernet packets,  
because they're not Ethernet adapters, they're 802.11 adapters. :-)

Also, their list doesn't specifically mention promiscuous mode - they  
just classify cards as "works" or "doesn't work".

(Note that this isn't an "official" list; as far as I know, the  
WinPcap developers don't maintain an official list, as they probably  
don't have time to test all the zillions of network adapters out  
there, much less the money to buy an instance of each of them - note  
that some of them aren't "NICs", they're on-board adapters, so you'd  
have to buy a machine with the adapter to test it.)
