Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I'm pretty sure BER is not available. Packet loss is easy enough to
reconstruct from higher-layer infomation (e.g. TCP traces.) AFAIK, the
closest you can come to computing BER would be this:
1. Capture received traffic with a monitor-mode VAP.
2. Configure the interface to pass up packets with CRC errors.
3. IF you have the original packets, you can try to identify the specific
bytes with errors.
