[Madwifi-users] Link encap:Ethernet

[rishikesh n. <nai...@ya...>]

hello,
my problem is,
 
when i do ifconfig i get,

ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:41:16:B7:DB

inet addr:192.168.4.101 Bcast:192.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0

inet6 addr: fe80::20c:41ff:fe16:b7db/64 Scope:Link

UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

RX packets:873053 errors:419 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:335

TX packets:1660 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:200

RX bytes:53380889 (50.9 Mb) TX bytes:182913 (178.6 Kb)

Interrupt:22 Memory:d0a20000-d0a30000

 

and when ping other pc with wireless interface , ethereal shows  ethernet II frames instead of 

IEEE 802.11 frame  and 98 bytes of data  with correct hardware addresses.     

I think it's because of    Link Encap:Ethernet      shown  by  ifconfig  against  ath0.  

Please help me , i'm trying to get IEEE 802.11 frames in ethereal from at least 22hours.
