ethereal not working on t42p

[gcchatel]

Hi, I am trying to see packets on the wireless lan that are not mine and I cannot seem to get ethereal to work in promiscuous mode. I have the atheros a/b/g card and when I pick promiscuous mode I see no packets although I know there are some. Any help? Thanks.

Ditto for me.

I have a regular T42 (2378-FVU) with the Intel 2200 card. Ever since I upgraded to AC 3.52 (and now 3.53) and my Intel drivers I can't see any packets.

Did you guys install the winpcap driver? I haven't used ethereal in a while now so I don't know about the new versions or anything but it might be worth while checking to see if they have newer winpcap drivers (if you haven't already installed them).

[admsteiner]

first thing I did. i tried the last stable release and the beta.

did you try the ethereal forums? sometimes there's one or two gurus around there abt that prog.

just for pete's sake why do you want ethereal on your notebook??

I posted a message on the forums, and here on the windows forum. I can't speak for the original poster, but I use ethereal for troubleshooting. I used it to look at why I wasn't able to log in to my university's PEAP network. I use it to analyze network traffic at home, etc.

It's a very useful program.

I had the same problem with my T40 and solved with Winpcap's 3.0 alpha or beta driver (not sure) a couple months ago. Now there is Winpcap 3.1b give a try. It will work.
