Thing is, I have a few problems with it already... For one, I get lots of warnings like this (when running in monitor mode) [ 3354.472204] drivers/net/wireless/zd1211rw/zd_chip.c:1467 ASSERT r >=3D 0= VIOLATED! [ 3354.472212] Call Trace: [ 3354.472222] [C000000001BCF6D0] [C00000000000F330] .show_stack+0x68/0x1b0= (unreliable) [ 3354.472247] [C000000001BCF770] [D000000000444F04] .zd_rx_qual_percent+0x= 164/0x200 [zd1211rw] [ 3354.472281] [C000000001BCF7F0] [D0000000004470CC] .do_rx+0x198/0x5c0 [zd= 1211rw] [ 3354.472307] [C000000001BCF8D0] [C000000000049978] .tasklet_action+0xd0/0= x188 [ 3354.472323] [C000000001BCF970] [C0000000000495C4] .__do_softirq+0xa8/0x1= 64 Secondly, also in monitor mode, I see a huge number of invalid packets. I can't believe there's that much noise here, and even then I shouldn't be seeing these packets. And I mean a HUGE number, in just 10 seconds I captured around 3700 packets! I'm pretty sure that the CRC and/or PLCP check isn't enabled since I'm seeing things like Beacon frame,SN=3D2219,FN=3D0,BI=3D100, SSID: "p\025Echel" while the AP is actually named "puschel" (don't ask me, just someone in my vicinity). I hope it doesn't happen in a normal (managed) mode. johannes --=-HIA6u0iGBuSKUBcpTnnc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Johannes Berg (powerbook) iD8DBQBF7L16/ETPhpq3jKURArg7AJ9ogLlimHoRPsAhGSI4/VCz5Ur0oQCbBjgo XnyONrCQc4uQKzlZwMfit1g= =Dmhj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-HIA6u0iGBuSKUBcpTnnc--
