hi,

I am currently working on a Cisco aironet 340/350 wireless card ( pci ) in Linux RH 7.3. I tried to capture packets using ethereal but i cant see any 802.11 packets ( data, beacon, ACK ) captured, only Ethernet packets are displayed.

I m using Ethereal v0.9.6 and libpcap v0.7.1.

And i also tired to run command like

echo "Mode:rfmon" > /proc/driver/aironet/ethX/Config

to enable promiscuous mode for the wireless card (which is using v 1.5 driver). But when i checked the file Config, no changes were made ( Mode:ESS ....)

Does this driver support promiscuous mode? I saw some people can get it to work, which version of driver should I use?

Can anyone give me some helps on this?

Thanks...
