Re: Get data from WLAN

[Chan Min Wai <dcmwai () gmail com>]

I think that you are conecting them on the wrong way and thus you will  
never get what you want.

If you want to capture the packet from the win 7 at lease you need the  
following:
A wireless AP (not router)
A switch with port mirroring function
A router or gateway that is connected to the Internet

So win 7 connect wirelessly to the AP
AP Connect to the switch with the port of the mirroring source.
A router or gateway to the switch and your pc to the mirroring switch  
destination.

With that the only you can get all the info you want.

Hope that help.
