I am using ubuntu 10.04 LTS and have a android ICS device.
I created a wifi-hotspot in my android device. I am connecting the my ubuntu via the wifi-hotspot created above. I stared capturing the packets from wireshark in my pc.
I am unable to see the traffic generated from the device, rather I can see only the traffic from the pc.
Am I missing something or wrong?
You aren’t seeing the traffic from the phone because your computer is only receiving and sending packets intended for the computer.
Maybe this will help? http://www.wireshark.org/faq.html#promiscsniff
It is possible that your wireless interface device either isn’t in promiscuous mode or doesn’t support it.
