Also notice that packets cannot be sent by packetspammer until the

of association in userspace.
There is a hostap/prism2 sub-ioctl to enable userspace mlme mode, which should
fix that issue. Look around in ieee80211_ioctl.c for
PRISM2_IOCTL_PRISM2_PARAM, ieee80211_ioctl_prism2_param, and
PRISM2_PARAM_USER_SPACE_MLME for hints. These sub-ioctls are, of course,
quite evil and need to be replaced, but it's a little better than hacking
mac80211 to start with user_space_mlme enabled by default.
Thanks for that tip Michael, I found it needed only
PRISM2_PARAM_ALLOW_BROADCAST_ALWAYS to work without association. So you
only need to
- bring the interface up, and
- set the channel
before running it now. The updated version can be had here:
