Thanks for replying. I upgraded from ubuntu 10.10 to ubuntu 11.10. Still no improvement. My laptop was able to browse to the same website that my phone could, on the local network. My wireshark version is 1.6.2 from the ubuntu package manager. I do not know what to do about the NIC driver. -----Original Message----- From: wireshark-users-bounces () wireshark org on behalf of Guy Harris Sent: Wed 11/30/2011 5:21 PM To: Community support list for Wireshark Subject: Re: [Wireshark-users] cannot capture packets from wifi router(Netgear WNDR3700).

I am connected to my wifi network (Netgear WNDR3700) using ubuntu 10.10. The NIC is Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 AGN.The protection is WPA2-auto. I want to capture packets from it. $ sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
If I do a Web search for ubuntu 10.10 "monitor mode" I find a bunch of people reporting various problems. Perhaps there are either driver problems with Ubuntu 10.10 or a problem with userland code "helpfully" "fixing" connectivity problems due to turning monitor mode on by turning it back off. If I do a Web search for ubuntu 10.10 centrino 6200 "monitor mode" I find http://askubuntu.com/questions/45116/my-wireless-card-is-stuck-on-channel-1-when-im-trying-to-use-aireplay-ng Apparently the problem they had was due to an improperly-patched (probably meaning "unpatched") driver; one poster also suggests that network-manager might be acting "helpfully" here. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
