I use Atheros Card with latest version of Auditor. I can use it with Airodump 2.2 Beta 12 to capture 802.11a packets. It sometime shows up 802.11a traffic but rarely. (Don't know why.) What I usually have to do is to specify the exact channel number like 62 to be able to capture the 802.11a traffic.

I can also use Aireplay to inject the de-auth packets into 802.11a router without any problem.

That means the driver works with 802.11a device. Am I right? I also tried to use "iwpriv ath0 mode 1" force it to work only in 802.11a. However, when I fired up the kismet, it sets back to b/g freq only. (iwconfig shows it run in 5Ghz freq before, but once I fired up kismet, it goes back to 2.4Ghz.)

Any idea how to make this work?

Thank,
