This is the bugzilla link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38282 The network card doesn't work as expected in monitor mode (rt61pci driver). It should be able to capture every EAPOL packet but with newer kernels it can't. To reproduce: 1) stop all network managers 2) sudo ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.77 3) sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1 4) wpa_passphrase myEssid ----> myWPA insert the output into /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf 5) sudo airmon-ng start wlan0 11 6) open wireshark with the correct privileges, start capturing from mon0, select "eapol" filter, enable decryption inserting the correct wpa in the preferences of the IEEE 802.11 protocol. 7) sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf With a 2.6.35 kernel (I tried with Ubuntu 10.10 and Backtrack 4) I can see all the six EAPOL packets that I need to decrypt the traffic. With a 2.6.38 kernel (I tried with Ubuntu 11.04 and Backtrack 5) I can see four EAPOL packets (or five if I select "ignore the protection bit" + "with IV detection" in the preferences of the IEEE 802.11 protocol). In particular the "key" "(group msg 2/2)" packet is missing. -- 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
