           Summary: most capture filters are inoperative when sniffing
                    wireless data
           Product: Wireshark
           Version: 1.0.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Ubuntu
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Low
         Component: Wireshark
        AssignedTo: wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: fabwash@xxxxxxxxxxx


Build Information:
Capture filters that filter anything below the encrypted data are not
functional. For example you can't filter udp or tcp, it will have no effect,
because the wireless data doesn't seem to be decrypted at the time of the
capture filter. Display filters will work fine because the data is already
decrypted.

We need a mechanism to decrypt the wireless data BEFORE the capture filters
that act below the wireless frame are applied.
