At random times the 5Ghz WLANs we have just go to hell. I've been sniffing in monitor mode which has been quite enlightening there's certainly a lot more going on in the 5Ghz channels than I was expecting. Monitor mode shows me loads of stuff I didn't know was there but what it doesn't show me is how all that other traffic interacts with the traffic on my ESS. From what I've been reading it seems like you with most cards you can't grab the 802.11 management info and actual traffic on the network at the same time. Is this possible with a WNDR3[78]00 CeroWRT (or openWRT) setup? -- Richard A. Smith
