Is just this what I originally wanted to do, using Wireshark. But, for some reason, it doesn't capture PAP packets 
other than those sent by my machine. All other protocols are captured OK. I've posted a question about this in the 
Wireshark mailing list, but no replies. I'm in a wireless LAN, so this puzzles me.
