Sigh.  Yeah, I discovered that tcpdump didn't support AVS recently 
(testing it on a Mac mini running Leopard).  I checked a fix into the 
main and 1.0 tcpdump branches.

What happens if you do

        sudo tcpdump -i wlt1 -w /dev/null

(in that case, it doesn't need to understand the link-layer type, as it 
just writes out the raw packets without dissecting them)?

Before, or after, upgrading to 10.4.11?

Perhaps the driver was using DLT_PRISM_HEADER (which can also be used 
for AVS headers), or perhaps it was using radiotap rather than AVS headers.
