that 'undersized frame' is simply a beacon frame the orinoco is picking up in monitor mode.

theres a check in orinoco.c which checks if the frame has at least the size of a full 802.11 header.

but a 802.11 beacon frame is smaller than a normal 802.11 header, thus the driver complains about em

this only happens in monitor mode, as in normal mode the driver never sees the beacons

<edit>
I removed the check from my orinoco.c, and now I can see even beacon frames in ethereal
