Neither wireshark nor ethereal seem able to properly put my Atheros wireless
card into promiscuous mode. Ifconfig says that the card is in promiscuous mode,
but no packets are captured.
But if I start up Kismet in another window, packets are then captured. As soon
as I shut kismet down, the packet capture stops again. Restarting kismet starts
the capture flowing again.
