Hi,
     Pls help me to this question:-> I am research Student and using Ethereal for Capturing frames on Wireless LAN. I have AP (Access Point) and Three wireless Machines. I have Ethreal installed on  machine A where I do capture. The problem is when I ping from Machine B to C or C to B, I cannot capture the ICMP packets. But I can when I ping with Machine A. This may be because Wireless uses CSMA/CA, But can you help me providing any solution that Ethereal should be able to capture or listen to the channel and capture on third wireless client. 

Take a big thanks in advance

Cheers,
