Mint 14 Wierd Network Stats in Monitor Mode
Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2013 3:22 pm
Here's a wierd thing I noticed with Mint 14 (Kernel 3.5.0-17-generic). I bring up my wifi in monitor mode and don't run any user interface on it (EG: airodump, tcpdump, wireshark,...) and I get dropped frames. If I do the same thing in Mint 13 (Kernel 3.2.0-23-generic), I do not get any dropped frames (Both are using a Ralink 3070). Does anyone know what's up with Mint 14 and the dropped frames?
