Now tcpdump > captures everything in monitor mode when iface is set to promisc. Are you using monitor or promisc? Promiscous is just supposed to sniff what you would sniff as if you were on Ethernet -- stuff destined to your BSSID if STA. Monitor is 'catch it all'. Under this definition, is it still "misbehaving"? For now you can get a real "monitor" interface by using iw: http://git.sipsolutions.net/iw.git However this requires you to have libnl-1.0 pre8. The libnl URL is down, in fact Thomas's home dir is not even working right now.. hmm, CC'ing him. You can find pre8 here: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/netlink/libnl.git Luis - 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
