Hello,
I use ethereal 0.9.9 and libpcap 0.7.1 (RH7.3) with
a Cisco Aironet 350 wireless Card. I would like
to sniff all 802.11 frames (control, data and management
frames) but I can get only regular data frames with ethereal. 

As reported in
http://www.ethereal.com/faq.html#q5.22 I tried the following commands: 

echo "Mode: rfmon" >/proc/driver/aironet/ethN/Config
echo "Mode: y" >/proc/driver/aironet/ethN/Config

with no results


Any ideas?

Thanks for your attention

Michele Varesano
