That certainly wouldn't surprise me. Booted into XP (using bootcamp drivers)

I can't use any other XP packet software - so clearly Apple isn't making it

any easier on purpose.

 

 

 

Can you suggest a cheap USB wifi adapter that would be a good fit?

Preferably something I could get for under $30 online? Preferably Prism2 so

that I can do packet injection. I believe there is a Linksys (WUSB11 - or

something like that) that uses prism2.

I think the MacBook wifi driver isn't quite working at the moment.

what makes you so sure there is no data? Are you sure you are dumping it?

(in prefs you have the option to dump data

I'm running the latest (158 I believe?) build of Kismac, with a Macbook. I'm

using the Airport Extreme driver in passive mode to capture packets. Here's

the puzzling part - Kismac captures tons of packets, but when I look at the

details, NONE of these packets (I've let it run up over 1 million packets in

one case) are ever IVs or DATA. I can understand not coming up with any IVs,

but I don't see why I would never ever capture any data. At first I thought

this was just a fluke of my area, but I tried it today in the downtown of a

large city with 20+ access points in range, and still no Data or IVs.

 

 

 

If I'm capturing from access points that are BEING USED at that moment, how

can there be no data?

 

 

 

What's going on here - is this normal?
