In other words, they are dropping frames not intended for them.

The cards will go into monitor mode and can be used for packet injection, but they aren't running in promiscuous mode.

I have two Proxim 8494 and one Ubiquiti SR71 usb adapters and I'm getting similar results with all three units. I'm running Kali 32-bit in Virtualbox updated Friday with the latest upgrades/dist-upgrades (have also tested in a booted OS).
