Hello,
Ethereal recognizes my laptop interfaces, but will not
capture anything, even in promiscuous mode.
I have a Thinkpad T42 with wireless and 10/100/1000
ethernet. I do have some weird things that happens when I enter ipconfig
in a DOS window; it does not display any interface statistics, and says that
there is some unknown error. I am typically working wireless only, so I
went in to the interface configuration and changed the Ethernet link
negotiation and re-enter the ipconfig command. At this point, I am seeing
ip interface configuration information, and I do not receive an error.
This ability seems to arbitrarily disappear, and I have to again change the
state of the Ethernet link negotiation to make it work again.
No matter if I am getting and error or not with ipconfig,
Ethereal is still unable to capture information. I have also tried
changing the monitored interface to that specifically for the wireless, but
even after doing this, it still doesn’t work.
