[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] N 770 RFmon in Wifi Chipset?

[From: Michael 'Mickey' Lauer]

Salut,

I'm the developer of the popular Wellenreiter II[1] passive wireless
scanner for the Opie environment. I'm considering to make this
application run on the Nokia 770. Since Wellenreiter II is a passive
scanner, there is the need of the so called RFMON mode - basically a
mode of operation in which IEEE 802.11 management packages are delivered
to userland.

Most open source drivers (hostap, orinoco, madwifi, spectrum, wlan-ng,
cisco) implement such a mode. How is the chipset+driver in the Nokia 770
behaving in that aspect?
