I think the AC-9260 you have should be a decent sniffer. The (yet unreleased) follow-up hardware is even better, but this one is fine. Just remember to load with amsdu_size set to the appropriate (maximum) A-MSDU size you want to capture. > I probably should work on the new AP, but then I always wanted to test > coreboot and finding out my notebook is now supported is too alluring to > resist;-) :-) > > I think they all should just be made to work in native mode, the > > firmware basically supports this as you found, there must be some small > > bugs. > > Agree.

Also make for good sniffers, in my experience, we use them all the time for that. johannes
