Any suggestions on Packet Sniffers for Mac OS X? I've tried interarchy but i do not like it. Thanks in advanced!

Not quite sure that interarchy you talked about has anything to do with packet sniffers. That was only after a very cursory google search, however, and I may be wrong.

Some software I have managed to get working on my busted-ass G3 "Snow" iBook:

Ettercap - http://ettercap.sourceforge.net/
Ethereal - http://www.ethereal.com/
KisMAC - http://binaervarianz.de/projekte/programmieren/kismac/
Kismet - http://www.kismetwireless.net/

Apart from KisMAC, the software mentioned above required an extraordinarily steep learning curve as regards command-line business. I used a program called Fink Commander to babysit me through anything more complicated than changing directory. I also needed to install X11 to get Ethereal to work, mostly achieved through good luck, reading a lot and prayer.

Fink - http://fink.sourceforge.net/
X11 - http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/

Hope that helps a little. This is by no means definitive or authoritative, only what I have managed to get working and vaguely understand.
