Joerg, thank you for your reply. I fully agree with you. Probably I was not clear in exposing my problem: wireshark shows me frames not only from adjacent channels, but also from very far channels, such as channel 60. My problem is how to tell ipw3945 driver to stop scanning and listen to a single given channel.

Ah, ok there seems to be some misunderstanding here: It doesn't scan. But when we talk about channels we are actually talking about the center frequency of a signal that ranges from 12.5 Mhz below that center frequency to 12.5 MHz above that center frequency. As each channel only has a width of 5 MHz, that means the wireless signal of each channel covers 5 channels, the selected one plus the two adjacent upper plus the two adjacent lower channels. So if you set your channel to 9, then you will see stuff from channels 7-11. Hth. Ciao Joerg -- Joerg Mayer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. _______________________________________________ Wireshark-users mailing list Wireshark-users@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users _______________________________________________ Wireshark-users mailing list Wireshark-users@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users
