Hello¡¡¡ My question is, Can you capture raw 802.11 headers in promiscuous mode or only in monitor mode? I have to capture information of radio such signal strength, noise strength etc. Are there other ways?
You'll need monitor mode to capture these headers, see http://wiki.ethereal.com/CaptureSetup/WLAN
On Windows you can have a look at the interface details available through the "Capture->Interfaces" dialog "Details" button.
