["Jon Baer" <ethereal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

bottom line is you can't simple because on w32 u can not (without either a
commercial solution like wildpackets airopeek) put your card into rfmon mode
(aka monitor mode) and even in linux u need to recompile the kernel ... see
http://airsnort.shmoo.com/orinocoinfo.html

if only real way i know of doing it (or seeing what it looks like) is to
download the airopeek demo and them try to take those captures and put them
into ethereal.  im not sure if it works, just guessing.
