oookay... I'm having some trouble getting this to work.

According to iwconfig, wlan0 is in monitor mode on channel 1 (my AP). When I try to capture packets I get this error:

Code:

ERROR: datalink type is not DLT_IEEE802.11. Maybe you need to configure monitor mode in your wireless card

When I set up a ping flood using ath0, and captured using tethereal in libpcap mode, I got 1.82 million packets. When I did the file analysis it said there were a bunch of non-data packets and 0 uniq IV's and no truncated packets. That doesn't sound good.

EDIT:
Just for grins, I did a massive data transfer and got 75,000 packets and still they are "non-data".
