Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] Wireless sniffing - FreeBSD 4.5 + Cisco LMC352?

["an ethereal user" <ethereal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Howdy all...  

I have installed FreeBSD 4.5 on an old Compaq Armada for use as a 
wireless sniffer.  I've been able to get my Cisco Aironet LMC352 into 
monitor mode, ethereal 0.9.4 seems to talk to it, and I've also been 
able to "stumble" with Kismet.

The problem:  Ethereal doesn't decode the data packets properly.  All 
packets that are not beacons or probes show up as "LLC" protocol 
packets.  I've sniffed a web session from my other laptop and I saw the 
URL and HTML in these "LLC" packets, so I know that my sniffer is 
seeing 3rd party traffic, but I'd like to be able to see the high-level 
protocol (IP, TCP) info, not just raw strings.

(for the record)
# ethereal -v
ethereal 0.9.4, with GTK+ 1.2.10, with GLib 1.2.10, with libpcap 0.7, 
with libz 1.1.3, with UCD SNMP 4.2.5

Card type: Cisco LMC352

If anyone else out there in TV land has had similar experiences, I'd 
like to trade info.
