I want to capture 802.11 WLAN packets from Ethereal. But when I tried
with NetGear wireless card, I was able to capture Ping packets
But It was not showing any WLAN packets like
1) Beacon frames
2) Authentication request/response
3) Association request/response
So please any buddy can tell me how to capture these packets.
Step 1: do *NOT* run Windows on your machine. NDIS (which is what the
WinPcap driver uses), and the standard 802.11 drivers on Windows, have
no mechanism to allow a driver or application to request that it see
802.11 management frames.
Which NetGear card do you have? Linux and/or one or more of the
free-software BSDs might support the card and support putting it into
monitor mode. (Note that, in monitor mode, most if not all network
adapters do *not* support being associated with a network, so you can
only do passive traffic capture.)
