I'm using Wireshark 2.0 on Mac OS X (10.11.2) I want to use the "monitor mode" mentioned in this post(https://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/WLAN#Turning_on_monitor_mode) However, I don't find an option to set the "monitor mode". Does anyone have ideas about this? asked 08 Dec '15, 00:01  Hanfei Sun |

Have you scrolled to the right side of the capture dialog? As shown here: https://ask.wireshark.org/questions/42897/how-do-i-turn-on-monitor-mode-in-mac-os-x-with-wireshark-v199 answered 08 Dec '15, 01:43  Christian_R edited 08 Dec '15, 01:43 |
Hi, I had the same problem, setting the checkbox "monitor mode" had no effekt on my ubuntu 14.04-system. So I tried the following: Install aircrack-ng Start airmon to see the WLAN-Interfaces Start monitor mode on interface wlan0 A new interface "mon0" appears. You can capture on this interface with Radio-Information like RSSI, Channel and Transmit-Datarate. You can apply this information as colums in the packet-list. answered 08 Dec '15, 01:59  Uri |
Different problem - the low-level mechanism used for monitor mode is very different on Linux (which you're using) and OS X (which the person who asked the question is using).
