Boyz and Girlz,

I'm still not having success with viewing 802.11 frames with Ethereal. It seems as though I have tried everything. I'm using the Cisco Aironet350 with current software and firmware. I am even running all the required binaries for Ethereal for RH8.0. I have also attemped the following echo commands:

On Linux, you will need to do 

echo "Mode: rfmon"
>/proc/driver/aironet/ethN/Config
if your Aironet card is ethN. To capture traffic from any BSS, do 

echo "Mode: y" >/proc/driver/aironet/ethN/Config
and to return to the normal mode, do 

echo "Mode: ess" 
>/proc/driver/aironet/ethN/Config
Again, no luck. I just see Ethernet II frames and no 802.11 frames.

Can anybody please offer their insight and genius into this equation. I am desperately in need of sniffing 802.11 frames.

Many thanks,

Bobman
