Hello all.
 
    I have read the FAQ 5.36 (http://www.ethereal.com/faq.html#q5.36). I use cisco aironet 340 wireless lan adapter, with linux-acu-driver-v2.0. It works fine in redhat 7.3
 
    However when I follow the instructions in FAQ, typing echo "Mode: rfmon">/proc/driver/aironet/eth0/Config, nothing happes to Config file. The Mode remains ESS, I can't change it.
 
    I have checked the driver sourcecode. There are five available Modes: adhoc, ESS, AP, AP RPTR and Error in airo.c. Only two line references rfmon, they're "#define RXMODE_RFMON 3" "#define RXMODE_RFMON_ANYBSS 4"
 
    Expect your help. Thanks a lot!
