hello timolthy, exactly what 'sniffer' program were you anticipating using on your thinkpad? i assume by 'sniffer' you mean something like 'netstumbler', which finds wireless access points, but does not do regular network traffic sniffing (ie: snoop, tcpdump, and ethereal).
there are other options for you, such as 'wlanexpert'. try doing a search for 'wireless stumbler or 'wireless sniffer' on www.google.com, different programs support different cards, so what doesn't work with netstumbler may work with another program. -xs On Thu, 22 Jan 2004, Timolthy Keithy wrote: > Hi All, > > I have an IBM Thinkpad come with 11a/b integrated. > > The problem I am having is none of sniffer application > can work with Wireless LAN card, neither with the one > integrated or PC card 802.11a/b/g. > > But the sniffer such as www.ethereal.com will work > (able to capture) only Ethernet network 100TX > integrated. > > I called IBM tech-supp, they say that IBM does not > support the thirdparty software. and does not support > any sniffer apps. > > I am very disappointed with IBM, I don't know what > application on IBM that prevents the sniffer app to > perform the capture (even thou it can detect and be > select the Wireless integrated, But no capture). > > Do you have any such problem with your IBM thinkpad? > > Timolthy > > > > > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
