I've been working on the 802.11 dissector:
1) Add full WEP decoding, if you have correct key, of course.
- user-specified list of keys (arbitrary key size and list size)
2) Rearrange code so that we can de-wep fragmented packets
- and other cleanups in the dissector
3) Properly identify the FCS at the end of an 802.11 frame.
- actually, this will require it to be present -- according to the
802.11 spec, it should be there. Some wireless cards pass it down,
and if they don't, the driver is broken. *grin*
Aside from a couple of elusive bugs, the main thing left is UI work -- how
should one specify the list of WEP keys? Right now, I have that working
through environment variables, but ideally I'd add a menu item
(Tools->IEEE802.11) that would let you set the keys in a reasonably
user-friendly (and cross-platform!) manner.
I'll post the current patch as soon as I fix the remaining known bugs.
Meanwhile, suggestions on how best to proceed with the UI work?
