[Winpcap-users] why WinPcap is not capturing packets for mywireless PC card

[Gianluca Varenni]

As explained on this FAQ

http://www.winpcap.org/misc/faq.htm#Q-16

due to the limits of the Windows OS, you can have problems capturing from Wireless adapters: some of them don't work at all, some of them work only if promiscuous mode is disabled. 

Have a nice day

  Hi,

   

  I tried to capture wireless packets using the basic_dump example. I could capture Ethernet packet. Even though it is detecting my wireless driver it is not displaying any result.

   

  I got this result when I tried with a NETGEAR WAG511 PC card.

   

  1. \Device\NPF_GenericDialupAdapter (Generic dialup adapter)

  2. \Device\NPF_{71FFDFA2-557E-48C7-AE0E-F7F046395F27} (NETGEAR WAG511 802.11a/b/

  g Dual Band Wireless PC Card)

  3. \Device\NPF_{345D2B1C-EAEB-437B-AB9A-D848EAEF7DEA} (NDIS 5.0 driver

                                                          )

  Enter the interface number (1-3):2

   

  listening on NETGEAR WAG511 802.11a/b/g Dual Band Wireless PC Card...

   

  how to capture data from a wireless card?

   

  Regards,

  vimal
