[Cerowrt-devel] [Bug #442] capturing wireless packets

[Dave Taht]

If you are lucky enough to have a working iwl or ath9k or otherwise
supported mac80211 card in your laptop and are running linux, install
aircrack-ng, and use the airmon-ng tool to setup a monitoring
interface.

What I'm doing at the moment is capturing the mon0 interface with
wireshark while beating up the network as much as I can. (and trying
to come up with ways to parse the results sanely)

There are some instructions for BSD OSX in there too.

There isn't a way to do this in windows, apparently, without a special device:
