Hello,
Try Backtrack R5 and an Edimax EW-7722UND USB adapter.
Backtrack is a Linux based (Ubuntu) distro with pre installed pen testing
tools. I run a copy in VMWare Player on my Windows laptop which allows Linux
to access the USB Adapter.
Primarily Airodump-ng and Airmon-ng can be used to capture 802.11 packets.
These can then be opened in wireshark etc.
Another useful tool included is airdecap for decoding WPA/WPA2 encrypted
packets.
The Dlink you have adapter will probably also work so you may get 80211
packet capturing for "free".
Cheers
Andy

Subject: [OSL | CCIE_Wireless] Wireless Packet Capture (Windows Platform)
Hello guys,
This is my first post on this list.
I want to learn a bit more about the 802.11 protocol and to do that I have
OmniPeek 6.8.2 Demo and I purchased one USB supported adapter (the D-Link
DWA-160).
But the Demo has many limitations and I'm thinking about alternatives.
The best I found (affordable) was Airpcap classic:

What do you guys use in your lab preparation or on your work ? I want to be
able to use my Windows 7 x64 laptop, I know that Linux is much better and
has many options but it's not what I want.
Thanks.
