Hi *.*,
I'm using ethereal since some months, now I changed my wireless card
(from prism to intel ipw2200)...
I have a problem when i try to capture in monitor mode...
I'm able to capture every frame perfectly with tcpdump, but when i try
to do it by ethereal i got this message:

"arptype 803 not supported by libpcap - falling back to cooked socket."

Isn't strange that libpcap does it with tcpdump and fails with ethereal?

Many, many thanks if you can help me...

regards,
Danilo

It's not strange if tcpdump and Ethereal are linked with different
versions of libpcap, which could be the case if one or the other are
statically linked with libpcap.

What do

tcpdump -h

ethereal -v

report?
