you can cross-compile TCPDUMP and PCAP in unbutu or debian to make it available for Android as a non-installed folder which you browse to with a terminal emulator to run the tcpdump commands. has to be a rooted device for wifi monitor mode. Great tutorial for this can be found here:http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/monitoring-android-network-traffic-part-i-installing-toolchain
