OmniPeek Wireless driver detailed list and download
for wireless network analysis, OmniPeek need to install special drivers to capture management, control, and data frames. And when the OmniPeek stops, they will support the normal operation of the network service as a normal driver. The
WildPackets supports a variety of wireless adapter adapters from many manufacturers, mainly based on several chipsets. Of course, unlike chipsets, the features supported by OmniPeek vary. You can select the appropriate wireless card and download the corresponding driver for your wireless card by referring to the following content. The
can download OmniPeek drivers from mypeek, which is the community portal for wildpackets These drivers are for OmniPeek only.

2. These network cards provide a full range of wireless network analysis
3. This driver is developed and supported by Marvell, please refer to Marvell:consumer Driver Search for more information.
Wireless card based on Atheros
Atheros-based network card drivers are developed by WildPackets and can support a wide range of hardware. These drivers are suitable for wireless cards based on the AR5001, AR5002, AR5004, ar5005,ar5006 and AR5008 chipsets (in addition to the Super G and Turbo models), and all OmniPeek products support 802.11n ( With AR5008-based cards), WPA/PSK decryption, noise measurement, and hardware time-stamping functions. WildPackets now supports the three version of the Atheros-based driver: v3.0.1.12, v4.2.2.9, and v6.0.4.13. The following table is used for driving applications:
Atheros Chip |
Driver version |
AR5001 |
v3.0.1.12, v4.2.2.9 |
AR5002 |
v4.2.2.9 |
AR5004 |
v4.2.2.9 |
AR5005 |
v4.2.2.9 |
ar5006* |
v4.2.2.9 |
AR5008 |
v6.0.4.13 |
Please download the driver in the list below:
Some old Atheros wireless cards, generally based on the Atheros AR5001 chipset, are incompatible with driver v4.2.2.9, so that only drive v3.0.1.12 can be used.
* Description: This does not include support for the Ar5006ex chip, and until now, WildPackets is not supported for all Athros-based PCI Express cards. OmniPeek itself with three driver versions, this write driver is located in the following directory: Program Files\wildpackets\omnipeek\driver\ Atheros. The Readme file in the driver also contains instructions on how to install and uninstall different versions of the driver. Although any Atheros-based PC Card or MIMI-PCI card (using a supported chipset) can work under Ominipeek, the cards below are validated and have good results:
