Erro Message When Starting a Capture Using a WiFi (WLAN) connection

0

Message received when trying to monitor a network.

The capture session could not be initiated (failed to set hardware filter to promiscuous mode).

Please check that "\Device\NPF_{37AEC650-717D-42BF-AB23-4DFA1B1B9748}" is the proper interface.
