I installed and used Etherial on a Dell Latitude C840 easily and without incedent. In fact, the functionality and usablity were incredible with little to no difficulty. I've tried the same on a Dell Latitude D800 with different results. I've tried most all combinations of the last three versions of Etherial with the last three versions of WinPCap including the latest beta. I've tried capture sessions on all listed interfaces, although I'm pretty sure the wireless card is the one I want. Each time, Etherial reports no packets captured. None. It's as if I'm choosing the wrong interface to monitor, but I've tried them all. I'm running Windows XP SP2, firewall engaged (not by choice, it's part of the group policy for my domain). I don't even know where to start debugging this. Any pointers?
