I am not seeing 802.11 specific data (frames) on my
cisco 340 PCI using Redhat Linux 8.0.  Kernel
2.4.18-14

I have read many of these postings but found no answer
to this question.  Maybe one of you can help me.  I am
unable to put the card in RF monitor mode.

I have the newest version of Cisco's drivers for linux
installed and the TCP/IP stack is working properly. 
(Version 2.0, airo, filename
"Linux-ACU-Driver-v2.0.tar.gz")

I have installed the reccomended version of libpcap,
RPM's:
libpcap-0.7.1.1-1prism.rpm
libpcap-devel-0.7.1.1-1prism.rpm
libpcap-static-0.7.1.1-1prism.rpm

OK, so far so good.  I compiled & installed Ethereal
0.9.9 and ethereal loads up fine.  I try to put the
card in RF monitor mode and the drivers don't seem to
like it. I fire up Ethereal and i get NO 802.11
frames.  I've tried kismet_monitor.  It just says it
put the card in RF monitor mode but I get no results. 
Same thing, NO 802.11 frames. 

Does anybody know if the new firmware/drivers for the
Cisco 340 support RF monitor mode?  

Where else can my problem be?
Is it my WLAN drivers or firmware?
Is it my pcap library?
I don't think it's ethereal!

What can I try?  Please help...thanks, Vdog
