which options must I use to compile libpcap in order to get support for 802.11b (wlan) generated packets?
There are no options that control that; support for that is not conditionally compiled.
I have downloaded a nightly build (2003-04-26) of libpcap and tried "./configure --prefix=/usr/local/libpcap-2003-04-26" but I still get the error message ("warning arptype 801 not supported by libpcap - falling back to cooked socket") whenever I try to run my app (Wellenreiter, an advanced 802.11b auditing tool).
Either 1) your application isn't linked with that version of the library; 2) your Linux defines ARPHRD_IEEE80211 as something other than 801 in "/usr/include/net/if_arp.h"; 3) including <net/if_arp.h> when building libpcap doesn't cause it to include "/usr/include/net/if_arp.h". - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
