[clug] monitor mode after association

[Christopher Zhang]

Hi list,

I am trying to put my Intel 3945 wireless card into monitor mode to  
work with ethereal in my own WPA2 encrypted network, it seems that  
the card will automatically change back to managed mode after  
associating to the AP. This makes it impossible to stay at  
promiscuous mode for packets collection. However the card will stay  
at monitor mode if I didn't try to associate it with the AP, but  
that's pretty much useless as all packets I can see are encrypted and  
appear in ethereal under protocol 802.11.

Does anyone have a better idea to put a wireless card stay at monitor  
mode after association in a WPA encrypted network?

Thanks

Chris
