For my usage case I want specific unencrypted packets filtered by a MAC address that isn't part of the authenticated network, so the reception action needs to be effectively promisc a la Monitor mode, not just "received management frames". But I guess it can be done with IFF_PROMISC. By piping everything down "wlan0" normal packets will not have the radiotap metadata on their capture, but presumably the abnormal packets can have it via a special ethernet frame type + radiotap header. Maybe it doesn't matter for any actual use. -Andy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
