Thanks to this bridge wireshark see both wiresless clients and wired clients via the WAP. I can think off two ways to get rid off the MAC's from wired cards. One unplug the WAP from your wired network. OR Use a router. With a router all your wired MAC will be hidden behind the MAC off the router. Just a simple router would do. Hope its helps, Yorian 2010/11/14 Chin Shi Hong <cshong87 () gmail com>:On Sun, Nov 14, 2010 at 3:24 AM, Stephen Fisher <steve () stephen-fisher com> wrote:On Sat, Nov 13, 2010 at 10:24:05PM +0800, Chin Shi Hong wrote:are the real wireless client that connect to the wireless network AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF, or it may be only one of them are the real wireless client connect to the wireless network AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF.

This is because I had done some testings. I tested with 2 computers. First computer connected to my wireless router by using wireless network adapter, while the second computer connected to my wireless router using wired connection. I had noticed that the MAC Address of the wired network adapter in second computer (the one using wired) are recorded as well, either as source address or destination address. This make me very hard to program my application to detect which MAC address is the MAC address of the wireless network adapter, not the wired network adapter. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribeI am using router, and wireshark still see the MAC address of wired computer. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
