hello,

I use ethereal 0.9.6 (RH8.0) with a 802.11 wireless card (WL110 compaq). I would like to sniff the 802.11 control and management frames (beacon, ACK, RTS/CTS, ...) in addition to regular data frames.

I'm trying to patch the orinoco-cs driver as explained in the ethereal FAQ section (see http://airsnort.shmoo.com/orinocoinfo.html) but with no result. I can place my card in a monitor mode using "iwpriv monitor" command but when I start ethereal no beacon frames appear.
Any Ideas?


thanks for your attention.
