While this works to some extent it is not exactly what I want, Whenever I put my card in monitor mode it drops my current connection, and I have to run extra software to decrypt the packets on my wep encrpted network. I just want ethereal to display all this information like it does when I boot my laptop into windows.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
