On one laptop, I am using the Backtrack 3 Beta live CD with a Netgear
WG511T Atheros card and when I run wireshark to promiscuously capture
traffic from another laptop, I'm only able to see half of the traffic.
I can see the replies from the router back to the other laptop (e.g.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK) but I can't see the traffic from the other laptop to the
router (e.g. GET).
It seems that I am not the only person having this problem:
* #1179
* #322
P.S. The network that I am trying to sniff from does have WEP enabled.
Comment (by mrenzmann):
What version of MadWifi do you use?
Are you sure that the issue is actually caused by a bug in the driver? Are
the stations you don't hear any traffic from in a range where your client
could "hear" them? What mode does the VAP work in you use for sniffing; is
it a monitor VAP?
