Hi, greetings all:

I started to use ethereal today, and found a weird problem. I have two wireless boxes. One of them does ping, to a third machine via an access point, and another sniffs the airspace. I can ONLY see the ICMP ping (reply) messages, but not the requests.

Both of the wireless cards work on the same channel. One is Orinoco Gold, another is Cisco Aironet. I use the Aironet card to do ping, and Orinoco card to sniff.

  Please kindly let me know what happens here. Thanks in advance.

cheers,
