Hi.  i just went outside and did some caps with my 802.11 card.
Unfortunately, they are garbage.  Here's one:

2d:05:62:49:a3:36 -> d4:00:00:00:00:02 LLC I [...]
96:34:1e:9e:0f:0f -> d4:00:00:00:00:40 0x0f0f Ethernet II

As you can see, the MAC addresses are bogus.  I'm using a Cisco Aironet
352.  I'm not sure exactly whether it tries to append an ethernet header
to the 802.11 packet, or what.  Does anyone know if there is a simple
transform I can apply to get the *actual* MAC address?  That would be good
:)

Regards,
Jeffrey Baker
