Hi all, i am using wireshark 1.0.2 patched as suggested here HOWTO – open80211s – Trac <http://o11s.org/trac/wiki/HOWTO> to sniff traffic from my 80211s mesh network. I create a monitor interface on a laptop not directly connected to the mesh, and run wireshark on that interface. Hardware is an Atheros AR5007 and Ath5k drivers, OS is Ubuntu Linux, kernel 2.6.27 I am facing two problems:
1. even if I set wlan channel on e.g. channel 1, wireshark listen on all channel, (does channel hopping by default?) and collect a huge quantity of data i do not need from other wlan network in range, and consequently lose a discrete amount of packets also from my mesh net. Is there a way to set channel also in wireshark? I do not see any suitable option.. 2. Does any newer version of wireshark add 802.11s mesh network support without patch? Thanks a lot.
