Hi,

Read the User's Guide, section 4.5

It notes: "In monitor mode the adapter might disassociate itself from the network it was associated to."

hi,
I am now using wireshark on ubuntu 2010. And I want to capture packets of type 802.11. However, when I set the wireless adapter to mode Monitor(use iwconfig wlan0 mode Monitor), I cannot connect to the wireless network anymore. My computer is DELL 1427 and the chipset if the wireless card is broadcom. Thanks for help!

Best wishes!
