Wireshark not capturing packets from iphone on the same wireless LAN

I want to use wireshark to see traffic coming off of my iphone to see which urls it connects to while idle. I am using the official distro provided packages for wireshark-qt on my laptop and my user is in the 'wireshark' group. I can only see entries from the iphone if I use it to ping my laptop. However, I do not see any traffic from the iphone when I browse the web from it, check email from it, send txt messages, etc. It seems that I am only able to capture traffic if the iphone directly interacts with the laptop. Why? * The wireless router is an Asus RT-N16U running Tomato-USB. * Both the iphone and laptop are connected to the same SSID (2.4 GHz AP running pure N-only mode). * My laptop's NIC enters promiscuous mode via output of dmesg when wireshark is started. * I have tried capturing without a filter present (all traffic) and also specifically targeting the iphone address with this filter, "host 192.168.1.203" which is the ip address of the iphone. Thanks for the help. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
