Hi There; can I have ethereal sniffing over to atheros cards simultaneously or is does the driver actually prevent that? thanks moe smadi |

The driver only prevents having multiple interfaces in monitor mode when they are associated with the same card. It's fine to have one interface in monitor mode for each card. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin |

I guess one needs to have N different instances of ethereal running where N is the number of interfaces in monitor mode. If one uses the "any" interface, IEEE802.11 header dont seem to be present. thanks moe smadi |
