hallo, i am using NetworkManager for connecting to wireless networks, airsnort only sniffs for the limited time the nm-applet tries to connect after putting in password. So i have to intrigger search every-time nm-applet stops searching which is approximately 10 seconds... which is not of cource very efficient,
can anyone advice me how to go around this?
Can i reset the time-limit for NetworkManager
or should i use wpa_supplicant instead?
