Hello everybody,
I discovered that playing with iface promiscuity to capture traffic
(including control, promisc and all other stuff) is not working on
ath5k as rx_filters are never refreshed. To make things going I added
a single ath5k_hw_set_rx_filters(ah,rfilt) at the end of
ath5k_configure_filter(). I attach the simple patch. Now tcpdump
captures everything in monitor mode when iface is set to promisc.
By the way, has someone tried to put ath5k into using RTS/CTS procedure?
Regards,
FG
