Thank you for your help. In response to Steve I have used tcpdump -i en1 and it worked fine. The connection did not drop.
As for wireshark as soon as I hit capture options the connection drops even if I just type in en1. After further testing I have found that the connection drops but if I start the capture and leaving it running I can then reconnect to the wireless network and it will start capturing the packets.

Try not using "List available capture interfaces" - capture on en0 for wired captures and en1 for wireless captures. Also, don't use the drop-down list to select an interface in the capture options window - just type en0 or en1. That might help. This is a known problem - or, rather, a consequence of several known problems. Some can be fixed in libpcap (I'll look at that), some in Wireshark (I'll look at that - but those would also need the libpcap fix, meaning Apple would have to pick that fix up for the system libpcap or you'd have to somehow get a version of Wireshark built with a fixed version), and some in the driver for the wireless adapter (somebody in the group at Apple that does AirPort adapter software would have to look at that). _______________________________________________ Wireshark-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users
