<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I guess the only mentionned problem I'm aware was about the method to set-up the monitor mode: the deprecated method (iwpriv) has a bug. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>However,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I found that some time, switching to the monitor mode, the incoming frames are wrong. I mean running wlansniff I found that there is a shift in the data packet delivered to the user space in such a way the wlansniff misinterprets the header. Ethereal is also unable to interprets correctly the frames as well. To solve the problem I have to switch back to the managed mode and switch back to the monitor mode (need sometime several back and forth until the things go right). I have to add that I use the monitor mode with the frequency I want to listen (i.e. iwconfig wlan0 freq "2.437ghz" mode "monitor").</FONT></P>
