Hm. No, this didn't work.
But when I set 'Capture Filter:' to "No Broadcast and no Multicast" in the "Wireshark: Capture Options" Dialog it works.
No more broadcast packets are shown.
Now I discovered that I have all those packets from other wifi networks in my list.
How can I filter them out?
And still the decryption of the packets of my wifi network doesn't work at all.
http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users/201107/msg00071.html
It gives no sense to capture my network without decrypting it.
I think I just give it up, my last hope is the Neowin Developer, Robert Wright, who wrote the article about Wireshark on Macbook with decryption.
I sent him an email.
Thank you anyway.
Kind regards,
Frank Walter
