<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> Thank you for the response. </DIV>
<DIV> Actually the promiscous mode is differant from the monitor mode. Promiscous mode allows the driver to pass all the incoming and outgoing packets to the host machine. Since i need the traces of the management frames to be captured , to be more precise secured handshake messages. Will the tcpdump capture the management frames aswell ? Or else is there any other way to capture the incoming and outgoing management frames ?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>with regards,</DIV>

I could see the piece of code in file "hostap_hw.c" setting the promiscous mode by calling the function prism2_setup_rids(), in which the RID for enabling the promiscous mode is being configured. But still i am not able to capture the incoming and outgoing messages. Do i need to make changes in the hostap code for enabling the promiscous mode to serve my purpose ? Is there any specific RID that infoms the driver to pass all the messages to host ?
