ok i have checked this again using easy debian and aircrack.
I'm able to sniff data at unencrypted networks(didn't saw it before cause i have poor signal to unencrypted networks in my area)
whean i was trying to generate some traffic at my wpa2 network data packet does not increasing. But i can see data packet in wireshark but they are apear as malformed. Data packet don't have a source MAC adress - that is why aircrack doesn't see them (in the same time my debian lenny on pc can see the same packets source MAC adress and aircrack data packet count goes up
Sadly you are right, it is impossible to capture encrypted data packets. I suspect the hardware decryption of the wl1251 chip to break encrypted packets. I will try to fix it, but at this point I can't promise anything.

My recent tests showed that this doesn't break WPA handshake capturing as the handshake itself only consists of unencrypted 802.11 data packets.
Therefore this bug only affects WEP cracking and general data sniffing whereas Wardriving and WPA cracking isn't affected.

I have checked some old capture files made with Kismet and the stock kernel without patched driver. It shows exactly the same problem.
