Straight up! THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING! I have been searching and searching. Okay,
Command used WITHOUT kismet or airsnort as front end.
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_wlansniff channel=6 enable=true
or
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_wlansniff enable=true channel=6 prismheader=true stripfcs=true
or
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_wlansniff enable=true channel=6 prismheader=true
or
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_wlansniff enable=true channel=6 stripfcs=true
Then with (most recent pcap and ethereal) ethereal sniffing.
only AP broadcasts - which makes me think I'm getting it into rfmon.? But maybe not completely?
In common promisc/association I catch traffic but not AP bdcasts, the contrast makes me think it's in rfmon?.
airsnort and kismet both give the same results when called as themselves (without wlanctl-ng commands).
AP = dlink 614+ latest firmware, wep 128 hex 11 mbs as all other machines
2nd machine's wifi pci card = MDK 9.2, d-link 520+, acx100 module=latest release
sniffing machine = dell 2650, MDK 9.2, pcmcia smc2532w-b module=Linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre21
Now with this new info about what to expect in sniffing, I'm now thinking it's the AP or that my smc starts up associated to begin with, then I put it into rfmon. I would like to see what the results would be if I could just load up the module, ifconfig it and then enter rfmon. But the pcmcia-cs loads up the modules and also the config scripts; which work fine, so I want to keep those running...I tried to pull the configs out of the scheme, only to find the card not being recognised by
ifconfig wlan0 up (even though seen with ifconfig -a)
and simple iwconfig commands (I know about the lack of extensions with wlan-ng)
What would be the wlanctl-ng commands to pull out of association but not into rfmon? After pcmcia-cs has done it's common job.
The idea of the AP riding the weak IVs is interesting. This could be my next test step maybe.
lol
Thoughts?
Bests all,
