There is no software solution to your 'sniffer problem'.
Experienced guys can down interfaces and still listen a traffic,
can change MAC to your routers address and do not swith to
promisc, etc...
So, all anti-sniffs like L0pht's only can help you to be
rooted remotely.
Only solution is the hardware solution or crypto-solution.
