Glad to help. One caution, though: at this point, it is my understanding that what the patches do is provide a way to capture the raw 802.11 frames via bpf. So any interpretation of them would need to be done elsewhere; an example of that would be using Ethereal (8.17+), while last I checked, tcpdump professes ignorance of the frame type. >Do you know if those patches have already been applied to -CURRENT? (which >I am running on my laptop, just for fun (well, ...)) As I understand it, the patches were developed under -STABLE, and have yet to be brought over to -CURRENT. (I had volunteered to help Doug with that, so I suppose I ought to get to work. Still, there shouldn't be a huge amount of change.) (I'm running both -STABLE & -CURRENT on my laptop, though not both at the same time.) Cheers, david -- David H.
