Can not decrypt packets sent to/from my iPad

0

I have noticed a strange thing, I cannot decrypt packets that are sent to/from my iPad. But I can decrypt packets that are sent from/to my other laptop. Both are (of course) connected to the same WPA2 (AES) encrypted network.

I have captured the four-way handshake with both my iPad and laptop, but I can only decrypt the packets going to my laptop when setting the wpa-psk pre-shared key in Edit->Preferences->Protocols->IEEE 802.11.

Why is that so?

Have you checked the negotiated packet size to make sure that you are capturing the full packets in WireShark? Is it different between your desktop and your iPad?
