New Filtering Enhancements

You can now filter by the wireless access point hardware address in addition
to the standard MAC address and IP address filtering that has always been
available in Observer. You can choose to either capture or exclude packets by
the AP.

Router Observer

Router Observer mode now shows statistics for wireless access points as well
as routers.

Save Capture Buffer

You can apply WEP decryption by supplying the key profiles in the Save
Capture Buffer dialog. These are the same key profiles configured in the
Device or Probe Properties dialog described on page 6 of this manual.
