And you're saying that this can set my WiFi card in promiscuous mode as if I was running Linux bare metal?

I'm not.

You mentioned Docker and virtualisation and this tool has addressed most of my pain points with those, that's it.

Sounds like it doesn't address my pain points then...

Indeed, I misunderstood "Docker and virtualization isn't the same" as "Docker and virtualization on Mac is not as good as on Linux". Now I understand you meant "Docker and virtualizating Linux isn't the same as bare metal Linux".

Oh, I get the misunderstanding now. Yeah I meant that Docker and virtualization isn't the same as bare-metal Linux. Sorry for being a bit unclear

You can in principle use USB passthrough to do that on a USB WiFi card to do that, I believe, but sucks to carry around a USB dongle especially since macs seem to barely have USB ports...

I'm happy with my AMD Thinkpad running Linux ...

Only a few nics support promiscuous mode
