Title: Using Ethereal Windows version for monitoring IEEE 802.11b traffic

Hi All,
I'm trying to use the windows version of Ethereal for monitoring IEEE 802.11b traffic. I have the Lucent/Orinoco Silver WLAN card installed.

In particullar I'm trying to observe the security(WEP) features of the WLAN, in order to see if some of the various attacks that have been published during the course of the past year can be easily reproduced.

I was wondering if anyone has done that kind of work and if so could someone please give me some hints as to how to go about doing this.

Have any of yopu used the windows version to monitor 802.11b traffic and management messages?

Regards
