how to find if my NIC card supports promiscuous mode

I am looking for a tool that can check if a node's NIC can be set to promiscuous mode, so that i can conclude this node is
worthy of voice monitoring.

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks in advance

It's actually a list of adapters that are supported for WinPcap (http://www.winpcap.org/) which requires the adapter to work in promiscuous mode.

Yes, i crossed these paths before. The list of adapters as you know is not 100%. I have come across situations at the client site where
the adapter is not listed. In order to give a quick answer without installing Ethreal/Winpcap setting up SPAN and analyzing the packets physically before concluding, i would like to be able to have the ability to run a tool of some sort and verify if the packets can be monitored.

Thanks.
