Hello!
It turns out ath5k doesn't receive multicast packets while in monitor
mode. Multicast packets are only received on the interface if it's set
to a promiscuous or allmulti mode of if the multicast address I need is
added by "ip maddr add".
Wireshark puts interfaces in promiscuous mode, but some utility I wrote
wasn't doing that, so it could not capture multicast packets with ath5k.
Do we have any standard whether multicast filtering is allowed in
monitor mode? Should I fix ath5k or the userspace program?
