D'oh!

I am an idiot. Feel free to call me such for that is what I am.

Yes, there is network traffic and has been all along.
The Agere driver is working perfectly and I suspect the Orinoco was too.

It looks like the problem is that I did not understand the difference between promiscuous mode and rfmon mode.
The card was not actually associated with the AP at the time of the scan.

Now, how do I get this thing to capture all packets broadcast on a given channel a la Airodump or is that beyond the abilities of VxSniffer?

Thanks.
