    wireless sniffer for mac os x

    What wireless sniffer do you recommend for Mac Os X ? Is there a bundle with wireless sniffer and gui for os x that you recommend? I tried to install ethereal, but I had to install extra software, which made my system not function properly. I had to re-install everything.
