I have only run it in managed mode. I bought it to use it in AP mode=20
to test my BCM4312 802.11a/b/g card when b43 can handle 5 GHz=20
channels, but that is for the future.

I gave a quick try of monitor mode with kismet. It saw the beacons=20
from nearby APs, but never captured any other packets. I don't think=20
it is working.
