Hello,
I have a laptop set up with Windows XP, the wireless card I have won't
work with Linux, and I am using Netstumbler to find wireless access
points adn doing some wardriving, while running Ethereal I don't get
any packets on any of the access points I pick up as active. I was
reading a paper that stated that if you use Windows to attempt to
sniff wireless that you would only get local packets and not any other
traffic but if you use *nix that you can get packets all the way back
to the other router.
Is there anyone that has been able to do any Wardriving, using
WindowsXP and been able to sniff any packets successfully?? If so,
how?
I know I could just go buy a diferent card that would work with Linux,
but I can't do that right now but I am giving it serious thought but
all-in-all I'd like to get this solution to work....sot of an
obsession now.....
Thanks!!
