Re: promiscuous capture on Mac OS X shows different 802.11 rates

Thanks for all of the information about the headers and reporting of
the information between the different OSs.  I was not aware of it.


There could well be a bug in the OS X driver for your network adapter,
so that it supplies a bogus data rate for transmitted frames.

What version of OS X is this, and what type of AirPort card does it
have?  (Apple menu -> About This Mac -> "More Info...", and there
should be something called "AirPort Card" under "Network".)

This could be an interesting scenario, that you may choose to not help
me with, but it's a hackintosh.  It's 10.6.1 and I'm using an Atheros
5212 card.  I can help dig up some more information about the driver
if you give me some pointers for it.

Thanks!
George
