Why I cannot see anything when I use this wlan.fc.type filters?
Hello,
I am trying to draw a pie chart of management, control and data frames of a 10 minutes of Wi-Fi traffic. After I stop the capturing, I write;
wlan.fc.type==0 for management frame,
wlan.fc.type==1 for control frame and
wlan.fc.type==2 for data frame
to the filtering area.
However, I get a completely white window, showing me nothing out of all packages. Anybody knows why? It would be great to see a reason...
Maybe you weren't capturing in monitor mode and only have Ethernet pseudo-headers? If you apply a display filter of just
wlan.fc.type, do you get any matching packets?Exactly sir, I do not even know how to switch to the monitor mode. This is my homework but it wasn't taught me before...
No, when I apply that filter, I do not see any packets
Have a look at the WLAN (IEEE 802.11) capture setup wiki page for information that should help you with this.
NOTE: The wiki is scheduled for migration to GitLab today, so once migrated, I don't know if this URL will redirect you to the new location or not.
