[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] wlan: no promiscuous mode?

[From: Collin R. Mulliner]

Hi Guys,

yesterday I played with the wireless stuff especially with tcpdump and
dsniff. But I could only pickup broadcast and unicast (from/to me)
packets, even though dmesg told me "entering promiscuous mode".

So my question is, does the driver support promisc mode? Btw. I have the
device for 2 days now and I still run the standard image. I haven't had
time to look at the kernel sources yet :(

FYI: Also changing the MAC address works (I need to use a specific
address in order to use my schools network).
