> Hi! I am moving to wireshark for use in sniffing wireless 802.11 beacons. My team used to use Wildpackets OminPeek. However, I am having an issue. Wireshark averages 166305 beacons/hr in my location, channel 6, while OmniPeek averaged 293149 beacon/hr, same location, same channel, same card. I am using the latest stable releases of wireshark, tcpdump, libpcap (1.0.5, 4.0.0, 1.0.0). Why is there this discrepancy? Thanks!

Can you please provide captures created with both programs so we may compare
them to find the differences.

Thanks

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
