I think in managed mode the firmware in the stick insists that valid packets are marked up with either the AP or your MAC address, or some similar strict regime. I have also seen in monitor mode nearby transmissions on different channels (!) turning up on another channel intermittently, I think the strength of the local transmissions craps on the receiving action in a direct way because of the closeness. The filtering implicit in the non-promisc receive mode just hides it I believe. -Andy ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
