I have a text console only system. I could put tcpdump on my system, but I think I can not monitor wireless traffic with it, or can I? tcpdump will probably not be enough. But since this stuff is *wireless* you can sniff from a different PC. If you have Linux PC, just plug in your TP-Link dongle in it, launch wireshark and you should be able to sniff (unencrypted) connections between other devices easily.
I've setup my Linuc PC as a sniffer and yes I see a lot of of authentication frames on the air when I try to associate with my open AP (Android phone).
I've repeated the process with a TP-Link dongle and I see a clean 802.11 association sequence.
What I found strange is that I don't see "probe request" frames on the wl12xx captured frames, it starts directly with an "authentication" frame, when with the TP-Link dongle (ath9k_htc driver) the first frame sent by is a "probe request"!
I can provide the Wirehsark capture files. What is the best way to send them through the mailing list?
