Hi Sirs,
   When I use the ethereal capture 802.11 control frames on my
network adapter I just can sniff the "Association Request".I can't see
any other frames although there are more than one AP and mobile node
in my environment.

I attach my operations below .Could you help me?
Thank you in advance!
