Take a look at a beacon frame
Find your own device
Do you see any association requests?
Watch out for Airtool capturing on the the internal adaptor
This is the default behaviour if the WLAN Pi is not present
Wireshark fires up automatically
When you are done capturing, you need to quit Wireshark, before you can start a new capture, otherwise you will find the remote sensor 'greyed out'
If you want your Wireshark colour profile to match MetaGeek Eye P.A. see this MetaGeek blog article

in order to start a new capture, you need to manually stop the current capture
Start a capture
If you see the following error, look at the end of the error message, 'Can't find a valid authentication'
But, I thought I just set it up right?
Unfortunately Wireshark is forgetful and can't remember your password between captures, each time you start a new capture you'll need to renter your password.
We can work around this by configuring passwordless SSH access, but that is beyond the scope of this lab. See this blog post for details if you are keen to set this up.
To start a new capture you need to manually 'close' the current capture
File > Close
Now you can access the landing page, configure the password and start a new capture
