can't get monitor mode to work (win10 1809, atheros Atheros AR9271) #160

uninstalled winpcap, installed latest stable npcap, installed latest wireshark. Found a tip on the wifi adapters page to install the win8 driver listed there.

I see the monitor mode checkbox but if i click it it doesn't stay checked. Tried manually to set monitor mode with wlanhelper and it apparently worked.

However i start capturing and somehow the only packets i see from my iPad are mDNS packets, and very few of them. I can't see any other type of traffic.

Is this strictly a driver issue or is there something else i can do?

The "self-unchecking monitor mode box" issue is caused by the PacketSetMonitorMode() function using an API that requires Administrator privileges. We changed this in Npcap 1.30, along with fixing lots of other WiFi-capture-related issues.
