I've fixed the promiscuous problem but I don't know what the cause was. I noticed that when I captured a lot of packets with libpcap, it and the adapter were reporting the same number of packets seen. That implied that nothing was missing which made me suspect wireshark. Deleting the .wireshark directory made all of the missing packets appear. So I must have done something to wireshark to make it filter out packets that weren't directed to me in a way that it remembered the filter across restarts, but I don't know what I did to get it in that mode. tcpdump was getting the packets, but I was writing them to a file and using wireshark to look at them. Something is still wrong with the radio tap headers. Using the bcm4318 all of my packets say they were captured on channel 3, when they were captured from channel 1. This may be a problem with wireshark. The beacons show channel 1 in tcpdump, and channel 3 in wireshark. Have the structures for radio tap been changed? That could explain things if wireshark is compiled with the old version. I'm using 0.99.4-6 from ubuntu. So now I can get back to my original goal of get zd1211/rt2x00 to run on an ARM with mac80211 and OLSR. I can say that the zd1211 and rt2x00 mac80211 drivers appear to be working much better now than they were six months ago. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@xxxxxxxxx - 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
