I'll try when I get back home.

No success :(.
I'm having a hard time even sniffing my own traffic.

After some tests, it seems the only way to decrypt some data is by setting the "Ignore the protection bit" option to "Yes - with IV". But, even with this setting, if I sniff my own traffic (no "promiscuous mode") I cannot even see the password of a POP3 session in the captured data, which I see instead in a normal ethernet sniffing; I see the user, but not the password.

Moreover, it seems that the Airport card is working normally also while in monitor mode, my Internet activity continues as usual; isn't this strange, according to the docs?

Also, in the wiki I read:

"WPA and WPA2 uses keys derived from an EAPOL handshake to encrypt traffic. Unless all four handshake packets are present for the session you're trying to decrypt, Wireshark won't be able to decrypt the traffic. You can use the display filter eapol to locate EAPOL packets in your capture."

But I couldn't find any EAPOL packets anywhere in my captures...

Any help is welcome.
