In wireshark, it captures a lot of packets, but they're all broadcasts from a the access point. It's on the right SSID and the right channel, but apart from a few occasional SMC broadcasts I can't capture any traffic on the network.


I would guess that this question should be asked on the ralink support
list and not on a wireshakr support list. Do other applications manage
to capture unicast wireless frames (e.g. kismet)?
