Well, you can always add a filter to make sure you only see the packets
that have the "right" channel number. My personal opinion is that I
prefer the behaviour of the ipw driver which records everything it
receives (okok, not everything but close to it) instead of applying
an additional filter to the received data steam.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
