I've been playing around with this some more and I'm starting to wonder if it is software related. Under monitor mode I am receiving thousands of junk packets, I don't get these in managed mode. Is the radio programmed in exactly the same way for monitor and managed modes? One way to explain what is happening would be that the radio sensitivity is much higher under monitor mode that managed. Another explanation would be that the hardware is able to separate noise packets from good ones in managed mode and not in monitor mode. Searching around with google I see reports of people trying to use kismet with zd1211 having this same problem. Another data point, if I put a rt2500 based device in the same location in monitor mode, I don't see the junk packets. -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
