    [PATCH] zd1211rw: monitor all packets · c5691235
    Ulrich Kunitz authored
    While in monitor mode the zd1211rw received only a limited
    set of packets. This patch forwards now all packets the device
    receives. Notify that while monitoring no FCS checks are done; so
    strange packets might appear in the network sniffer of your
    choice.
    
    ATTENTION: Support for multiple interfaces on a single ZD1211
    device is currently broken. So this code works only on the first
    interface.
    
    Here is an example to put the device in monitor mode.
    
    iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
    ifconfig wlan0 up
    iwconfig wlan0 channel 10
