I did get zethereal_0.9 working (well sort of) on my C860 running the Cacko ROM (v1.20 March 5 release). To say it is a little a buggy may be an understatement. To get it to work after installing here is what I do:
1) Setup my wifi (Ambicom 1100) card like I was going to run Wellenreiter. By this I mean the following:
Use the hermes.conf (Prism) drivers insteal of wlan.conf drivers.
Change card scheme by doing cardctl scheme qpewlan0
Check that things look right in the termianl by doing iwconfig
2) I then connect to my local wifi network as normal.
3) I start zethereal. It seems to be more reliable if started from the terminal than from Qtopia. The print is really small and hard to
read on the C860, especially when run from the terminal.
4) Once in zethereal I select eth0 as the device. I don\'t check promiscuous mode. I enter a number of packets to capture (say 3) and
press start. It runs until the requested number of packets are captured. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, it just stops and
exits back to the terminal.
Given all that, is it worth the effort? Probaby not except that zethereal does have a nice interface to analyze captured packets. It may be better, however, to just capture them in Wellenreiter, save them to a file, and then import them into zethereal for analysis.
What has been the experience of other people?
