Dear Mailing List,
I have just installed the Ethereal, which worked quite impressive on my desktop PC connected via an ethernet cable to the network. However, after the identical installation on my notebook IBM T41p, which connects to the network via a built-in WLAN, it failed to capture anything. When I disabled the WLAN, and connected via a common LAN adapter, it then worked out correctly.
What is the reason, why I am not able to capture anything via the WLAN connection? 

With best regards,
	Roman Krepki.
PS: please apologize my pure technical knowledge and formulation, since I am a novice in the networking area.
