[QUOTE="bboyreason, post: 960396, member: 124031"] can the airport in a macbook unibody be set to monitor mode? ie, for packet capture i am attempting to make use of wireshark and i have no options under the network interface window; EDIT: if anyone is curious i got it working; its very easy actually if you are using leopard; the binary distro for wireshark comes with some prefabricated files that take care of changing the airport to monitor/capture packets; i am a complete noob however and had a problem copying the files to /usr/local/bin i was trying to do it through terminal, but couldnt commit to anything because i didnt want to F something up; but i found out you can find /usr/local/bin by going to "go" and then "go to file" i think, in finder; basically its just a hidden directory and i havent bothered to unhide everything in finder; so if anyone downloads the disk image of wireshark, just make sure you read the readme file and follow the instructions explicitly; any more questions or if someone would like to share knowledge of wireshark use, my email is [email]violentpoetry_906@hotmail.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
