[BAT] OpenBSD 3.0 + smc 2632w + dwepdump

Tue, 2 Apr 2002 07:26:42 -0800

 Is there a way to set the card to listen to all channels when in monitor
 mode? It seems to effectively do this when using dstumbler, but it would be
 nice to be able to do it for cracking groups of nodes which share an SSID.
 In other words, it would be cool if dwepdump had a mode where it scanned
all
 channels and recorded stuff from a specified SSID. If the scanning all
 channels thing is possible now without using dstumbler, could someone
 explain how? Thanks.
