FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS was meant to receive frames promiscuously *within* the BSS, i.e. everything with the right BSSID.

Monitor mode, on the other hand, supposedly receives *everything* that decodes correctly on the receiver. johannes -- 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
