Hi

I was trying to capture raw data from 802.11 raw packets on Cisco Aironet
card. i m working on linux 2.4.20. i did as said in the FAQ question
number 5.36 ie

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

after this my network connectivity is lost, and when it is changed back to
bss  i m getting connectivty back can any one explain why that is
happening.And while trying to capture on wifi0 error message is coming
saying that no such interface is available... I tried by installing new
version of libpcap but no change can any tell me what is the problem.

Have a Nice Day !!!!!!
