Hi,

If you are using Ethereal under Linux then Ethereal can do it directly and
there are instructions in the FAQ:

http://www.ethereal.com/faq.html#q5.36

If you are using Windows then there is no way to capture raw 802.11 frames
directly into Ethereal, however you can use external capture hardware, such
as the Network Chemistry Neutrino Sensors:
