Hello, I have configured a Orinoco Gold wireless card on Fedora 3, to watch all traffic on access points. The result of the iwpriv command shows monitor mode as <snip> monitor (8BE8) : set 2 int & get 0 </snip> from the docs I have read, if the monitor mode shows in the list from the iwpriv command then the card is in Promiscuous (monitor) mode. The issue I am having is that when using Kismet or Ethereal all I get is ARPs and IEEE 8-2. Probe Requests, I never see any actual traffic. What can I do to actually capture any and all traffic that is seen by the wireless card? Thank you!
