Just a quick FYI for those *true* WiFi packet analysis junkies out there – I installed OmniPeek Professional 5.1.4 on my HP 6910 laptop. The software “works” with embedded Intel wireless NIC, but reports invalid data rates for 802.11n traffic.
The work around that I came too was to purchase a 3rd party, dual-band 802.11n USB adapter that has a supported API within the OmniPeek software.
I also have an AirPcap Nx device from CACE Technologies that I like *very* much – USB form factor that allows for wireless packet capture in Windows. AirPcap integrates directly into Wireshark, which is nice since I “grew up” taking wireless captures in Lib PCAP format under Linux and looking at them in Ethereal.

You could also try NetworkMiner, which is an open source forensic tool for Windows. NetworkMiner will extract files that are sniffed with your AirPcap adapter.
