I think the AC-9260 you have should be a decent sniffer. The (yet unreleased) follow-up hardware is even better, but this one is fine. Just remember to load with amsdu_size set to the appropriate (maximum) A-MSDU size you want to capture. > I probably should work on the new AP, but then I always wanted to test > coreboot and finding out my notebook is now supported is too alluring to > resist;-) :-) > > I think they all should just be made to work in native mode, the > > firmware basically supports this as you found, there must be some small > > bugs. > > Agree.

But after bombing you with > mails for what feels like most of the weekend I'll postpone that for now:-) I was looking at the firmware now and ... well, I want to really test this to understand what's going wrong, because it really *looks* like even the recent ones should be supported natively, at least as far as I've looked now. > As mentioned above I'm currently aiming for two or three Intel AC-9260 > cards for the next development round.

Also make for good sniffers, in my experience, we use them all the time for that. johannes
