Re: how to set capture filters?

I'm trying on winxp and I'm getting 802.11 headers in monitor mode.
I'm using Wireshark GUI instead of tshark, Wireshark 1.2.2 and winpcap 4.0.2.

Thanks,
Joshua

How could I set a capture filter to only capture, e.g, wlan management frames?
I could not find an exact answer by searching around. I tried sth like
'wlan mgt' or 'type mgt' but it didn't work.

On what OS is this?

What's the output of "tshark -v"?

Are you capturing in monitor mode?  Are you getting 802.11 headers, or just Ethernet headers?
