Wireshark is the wrong tool for this need – I would start with AirMagnet or AirDefense’s products.

Does anyone know where I can find an audit guide telling how to use wireshark  to do an audit of a wireless network?  We are interested in areas like what information we should be looking for in packets that is of a security nature and how filter for that information.  For example, can we filter for passwords on unencrypted messages.  We’re not interested in injecting packets or cracking WEP or things like that…but just queries of packets for information that could adversely affect security.  Thanks.
