Hello everyone.
I'm trying to capture wireless frames using the following configuration: I have Mandrake Linux 10.1 installed on a Compaq nx7000 laptop, with a Cisco Aironet 350 PCMCIA card using the kernel modules that comes with mandrake (airo and airo_cs). I put the interface into rfmon mode using: 

echo "Mode: rfmon">>/proc/driver/aironet/eth1/Config
and I captured on wifi0 using ethereal 0.10.9. The thing is, I am not capturing any control frames - only management and data. What am i doing wrong? Or is it pcap's fault or the driver's fault? 

Thanks,

Ionut
