Hi list,
There is an opinion that packet capture library should provide:
1) fake Ethernet packets on managed mode
2) 802.11 packets on monitor mode.
And Npcap currently can supply Radiotap + 802.11 headers for packets captured on wireless adapter for managed mode. Whether supplying 802.11 or not is controlled by installing normal version or -wifi version Npcap. It's not linked with the current operation mode for now.
So Npcap can provide the third option:
3) 802.11 packets on managed mode (only 802.11 data packets)
I want to know does this 3) option make any sense to anyone? How does Linux handle this? I want to keep the same behavior with Linux.
If 3) is useless, then I will remove it
Cheers,
Yang
