Subject: wl12xx: receiving all packet(like Promiscuous mode)

Hello all
??? We are doing one experiment with wl12xx,
in this we are required to get all packet received which passes FCS. I set the
rx_config ?CFG_RX_ALL_GOOD, but still not getting any packet. we want it to behave how it is in monitor mode. Can someone throw?some?light into this .

When we?configure it with CFG_RX_ALL_GOOD, that is 0x0x8 for the rx_config, the value is been set, but the effect is not there. Is there any dependency on the firmware ??

Using the linux-3.1.10 with firmware (Rev 6.1.5.50.74) with Panda board
?
Thanks for the support,
Dino Joseph Mycle

According to TI, the wl1271 firmware does not support monitor nor promisc mode:

I had to switch to USB-sticks to get the promisc mode on my pandaboards.
