1. How do you know your card supports promiscuous mode?

2. Do you have your card set to the correct channel and BSSID (essid)?

3. Are you trying to capture packets on an ad-hoc network or an infrastructure network?

Thanks for reply
First I have seen the log file it shows card is in promiscuous mode and i also searched my card on net for promiscuous mode.
I am working in ad hoc mode
