I'm a student who wants to take a part in Wireshark for Android developing.
I have just read about that, and I have a question does it work only with RTL
8187 adapter?
I have captured raw 802.11 frames on a number of different Android devices.
libpcap can be compiled for Android; that's what Wireshark would use for
Android, just as it uses libpcap or WinPcap on other OSes.
If fact, if you compile engineering builds of Android tcpdump is
included by default.
The only way in which libpcap knows about particular Wi-Fi adapters is in code
it uses to put adapters into monitor mode if the driver is *not* a mac80211
driver; I *suspect* the drivers for adapters used on Android machines are new
enough that they're mac80211 drivers.
Unfortunately this is not universally true. A lot of devices use
proprietary drivers that lacks monitor mode support.
