Hi,
    I am trying to use ethereal  to capture raw 802.11 frames from a Lucent wavelan 802.11 card with a firmware version 6.16.
 
I installed the monitor patch to the orinoco drivers and have a 
red hat with a linux kernel 2.4.2-2. I ran the following commands:
 
iwconfig eth0 essid SOMEID mode managed
iwpriv eth0 monitor 2 7
ifconfig etho promisc up
 
I can see only beacon frames from the ethereal capture and not any 
other frames (like auth or acks)
 
I have a station that sends user-specified MAC packets. Only the 
beacons are getting detected by ethereal.
 
Could you please give me some guidance here?
 
Thanks a lot.
Vaidya.
