Hello,
I've been desperately trying to
capture all WLAN traffic on my home network. I'm using a MSI laptop with an
integrated MSI ralink wlan adapter. I'm running linux/ubuntu. I'm not sure
about which driver is installed, but it seems to work ok.
I put the wlan adapter on monitor mode and adjusted the channel to
the one my router is broadcasting through, using iwconfig. In wireshark, it
captures a lot of packets, but they're all broadcasts from a the access
point. It's on the right SSID and the right channel, but apart from a few
occasional SMC broadcasts I can't capture any traffic on the
network.
These broadcast packets are useless I guess. Is the problem port
related and if so, what to do?
Summarized: -running linux -adapter
is in monitor mode
-adapter is on right channel
-only capture broadcasts, no actual traffic
Look forward to hearing
from you.
Regards, Sebastian
