The two aren't equivalent, so no. FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS was meant to receive frames promiscuously *within* the BSS, i.e. everything with the right BSSID. This functionality clearly cannot work with encryption etc. nor with a lot of HW etc. so I decided to remove it. It seems unlikely that anyone could have used it successfully. Monitor mode, on the other hand, supposedly receives *everything* that decodes correctly on the receiver. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
