Hello

I would be grateful if someone can help/suggest for the below:

I am trying to passively monitor wireless traffic of strongest WAP from a  Netgear WNR3500L.
I have flashed the openwrt firmware Kamikaze 8.09.2 on Netgear WNR3500L.

In order to do that:

1- Netgear WNR3500L is wired connected to another router.
2- Have tcpdump installed

The following commands put the Netgear WNR3500L to passive monitor mode.

wl up
wl ap 0
wl disassoc
wl passive 1
wl monitor 1
wl promisc 1

Then perform the scan operation to find the strongest AP and connect on that channel.

Unfortunately the "wl monitor 1" command doesn't create a new interface like "prism0", for the tcpdump to capture the traffic.

It could be that the wirless passive monitor mode is not supported in this beta openwrt firmware build
I would appreciate if anyone can share info about the openwrt firmware build for Netgear WNR3500L, which supports passive wireless monitor mode.

Thanks in advance
