Hi, I am trying to use a Netgear WNDA3200 usb dongle plugged into a box running Ubuntu 15.10 to monitor a WPA2_PSK encrypted network. This stick uses the AR7010+AR9280 chipsets. For the particular problem I am investigating I need to as much of the traffic on the channel as I can. However I seem to miss almost all of the unicast traffic. I have come across this problem many times before on other wireless chipsets. I was hoping the Atheros would be different. I can see unicast 802.11 management traffic but not protected unicast data/qos data frames. I have hacked the driver to give me the current filter settings via debugfs and this is what I see.
RXFILTER: 0xc03f UCAST MCAST BCAST CONTROL BEACON PROM PSPOLL MCAST_BCAST_ALL Which looks OK to me. I have also checked that all the packets seen by driver make it up to user level. Is this expected behaviour? Is this something to do with htc USB chipset? Is this something to do with a Netgear customisation? Has anyone else seen this kind of behaviour? Is there any way round it? Help!! This is driving me nuts. I have done so many tests with this and other adapters that I have lost the plot. I have a whole slew of tests and results available on request. But I won't clutter the list with them.
