Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Capturing 802.11 RSSI and TX Rate Values Using Ubuntu Linu

     "Other" are just 802.11 beacons for the most part--none of the
colored packets, UDP, TCP, ect. are showing up anymore.
     It is possible I updated Ubuntu, maybe even the Kernel. Why would
this make a negative impact?
