Thanks a lot.

I have tested it and it works. The capture contains normal radiotap headers with MAC timestamp, Flags, Data Rate, Channel frequency, Channel type, DBM Antenna Signal, DBM Antenna Noise, Antenna.

Here is what I have done:

Code:

stop wlancond
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor channel 6
ifconfig wlan0 up
tcpdump -i wlan0 -w test.cap
start wlancond
