Here's an interesting problem...when I save a capture to a file (which I name--say, file_1), it is saved as file_1 with no extension and hence cannot be analyzed by aircrack or similar applications--I get an incorrect format message. And, if I save the file as file_1.cap, it looks like an ethereal file (icon) but is still not accepted by aircrack.

What I find interesting here is that this problem just started today. I've tried everything but can't figure this out. Any ideas?

Thanks.
