Depending what you're trying to do, I did patches for tuntap that went in a year or two ago that allow you to set the link type and write radiotap/80211 frames. Kismet-newcore (it's in branches in svn if you care) uses this to replicate mangled frames back out to other userspace programs. http://svn.kismetwireless.net/code/branch/kismet-newcore/dumpfile_tuntap.cc If you want something that actually responds to iw* ioctls, etc, then this probably isn't what you want however. -m -- Mike Kershaw/Dragorn <dragorn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> GPG Fingerprint: 3546 89DF 3C9D ED80 3381 A661 D7B2 8822 738B BDB1 "A baby seal walks into a club..."
