So yeah, it shows how it fails and the interesting thing to do would be capturing the WPS handshake process between the AP and another device without loosing the connection or having Wireshark frozen… Then, we try the WPS functionality between the AP and the NetGear Adapter (we also tried between the AP and the PC and the AP and another PC in the network, but we didn’t capture anything…) and, as before, this fails, but at least we got something: So at first sight: yay! WiFi 2 interface is working in monitor mode (although Wireshark keeps getting frozen same as the connection to the AP). Also, Wireshark gets frozen… but, with lots of patient, we carry on with the experiment and wait for Wireshark to show what we wanted: Then, we run Wireshark as an Administrator and we start seeing the AP disconnecting and connecting to our PC, all the time.
