Advice about otherbss monitor flag for Wireshark use

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Roger James reported that capturing wireless data on monitor
interfaces created by Wireshark only capture frames to/from BSSID of
the monitor interface. This was solved using iw by setting otherbss
monitor flag. See Wireshark mailing list thread here:
https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201601/msg00031.html

I suggested a patch to handle this within Wireshark:
https://code.wireshark.org/review/#/c/13219

Now before merging I hope to get some feedback here if this is safe
for the general case? For most users/drivers it appears explicitly
setting the flag is not needed.
