I am not sure about the Proxim card, but Intel NICs are notorious for filtering out 802.11 headers before passing it up to the OS. I would check the Proxim web site to see if there is a patch.

Hi,

I am interested in capturing 802.11 management frames
in a windows PC. Is that Possible??

I can capture the same in My linux box!! In windows
2k with Proxim(Orinico) Card I am able to see the
Packets.. but they are shown as ARP,UDP,etc.  not as
IEEE 802.11. I had read the FAQ, which says it depends
on the driver and the card..
Do anyone captured the raw 802.11 packet before (in
windows)?? If so what is the card and driver I have to
use??

Your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
mohan

P.S. I use ethereal 10.2 and WinPCAP 3.0

Cheers,
Mohan
