Subject: question regarding cfg80211 monitor modes
Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2009 11:48:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200912031148.46934.holgerschurig@gmail.com> (raw)

"iw wlan0 set type monitor" allows the following flags:

                none:     no special flags
                fcsfail:  show frames with FCS errors
                control:  show control frames
                otherbss: show frames from other BSSes
                cook:     use cooked mode

However, I don't know how to map them to the Libertas' firmware 
flags, which has

Libertas (bits can be ored)
Data frames                   0x01   
Mgmt frames but beacons       0x02
Beacons                       0x04


So I guess that the following could be a translation table:

none       0x00
fcsfail    -ENOTSUPP
control    0x02 | 0x04

But what should "otherbss" and "cook" be?
