With hostap and the 2.6.8 kernel, each wireless NIC gets two interfaces,
wlanN and wifiN:

wifi0     Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 
00-02-6F-08-0E-2C-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00  
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:416458 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:244433 errors:0 dropped:1 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:525611268 (501.2 MiB)  TX bytes:30101461 (28.7 MiB)
          Interrupt:209 Base address:0x100 

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:02:6F:08:0E:2C  
          inet6 addr: fe80::202:6fff:fe08:e2c/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          TX packets:244431 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
          RX bytes:518114972 (494.1 MiB)  TX bytes:30101448 (28.7 MiB)
          Interrupt:209 Base address:0x100 


While tcpdump has no problem working with either one, trafshow hearily
dislikes wifi0. If I run trafshow with no parameters, or with -i wifi0,
I get the following repeated thousands of times, stair-stepping down my
display: 

  Unknown family 801 (if wifi0)
                                                                                
                               Unknown family 801 (if wifi0)
                                                                                
                                                            Unknown family 801 
(if wifi0)

Trafshow should deal with this better, so running it without -i
is useful again.
