ORBIT-USER: Network Sniffers

[Kishore Ramachandran]

Hi Chris:

I routinely use ethereal (new name: wireshark) or tcpdump - the text 
version is called tethereal (new name: tshark). You can install it using 
apt-get install.

Put the card in monitor mode first using "iwconfig athX mode monitor" (old 
driver) or "wlanconfig athX create wlandev wifiX wlanmode monitor".

Is this what you were looking for?

regards,
Kishore
