PAP basically is plain text. Why don't you just sniff the passwords off 
the wire?

Is just this what I originally wanted to do, using Wireshark. But, for some 
reason, it doesn't capture PAP packets other than those sent by my machine. All 
other protocols are captured OK. I've posted a question about this in the 
Wireshark mailing list, but no replies. I'm in a wireless LAN, so this puzzles 
me.
