Re: dwepdump question

Thanks for the 'ifconfig wi0 up' tip.  I should have thought of that.  :-)

As I said, I've just been using 'dwepdump wi0 logfile'.  I've tried
'dwepdump -a wi0 logfile', but get the following error: "dwepdump: illegal
option -- a"  Using the -w switch doesn't get anything either of course.

Any ideas?
