Is IPW2200 monitoring FW still broken?
I miss huge amounts of packets when I try to monitor
some traffic.

I'm using current wireless-2.6 + v3.0 firmware.

Using two antennas.


What type of frames?  Data or management & control?

If you use wireshark to capture, you can't update the packet capture window or you'll lose packets; but you should be able to get them all if you're doing a tethereal > somefile or if you turn off the update of the main window.

I'm not sure if it can capture control frames or not. I seem to recall it getting some ACK frames but I don't think it was passing up all of them, or if it ever passed up the CTS frames. But you should be getting the bulk of the data frames.

Yi -- do you recall what the ipw2200 firmware would pass up?
