hi, I make an ioctl call with SIOCGIWPRIV and it fails. I have included : #include<linux/wireless.h> The pcap code makes the same call to the driver in enter_rfmon_mode_wext() defined in pcap-linux.c for sniffing. The compat-wireless-2011-08-10 driver has the header file in compat../include/linux/wireless.h My ioctl call to the driver FAILS ! Also, if this is defined in the compat folder, I am sure this should work with ath9k driver...else it won't be defined in wireless.h ?
I can't find how pcap is using the same call to the driver and able to sniff. ioctl call with SIOCGIWPRIV parameter works i guess with pcap. The ioctl call with SIOCIWFIRSTPRIV also fails. Can someone please suggest what I should be doing to make this call work ? My goal is to read the radiotap headers and the rest of the headers using raw sockets. I am not familiar with netlink interface and can see pcap can read the information without using it, hence I am interested in using ioctl calls. Abhinav
