Sure, go ahead :) I'll attach my changes in case you want to use some of my
work.
I'm just concerned that we have to put in some effort to select the correct
monitor mode setting, just like we have for linktype:
- Settings in the Capture Options is preserved for each interface, so we can
start a capture from the Capture Interfaces or the welcome page with the
previous settings (or selected default values).
- Set a default value for each linktype for each interface in the Interface
Options dialog. Sometimes I'll always want monitor mode for all interfaces I'm
using, according to the selected profile.
- Use correct sensitivity for the monitor mode checkbox. It seems like
pcap_can_set_rfmon() return 1 on my EN linktype.
And maybe:
- Document the differences between promiscuous mode and monitor mode
- Reorder the options in the Capture Options dialog to make it more user
friendly. This may be the complete rewrite as Gerald talked about.
