Re: dwepdump question

When I run 'dwepdump -w -a logfile' I still get the error "dwepdump: illegal
option -- a".  But dwepdump continues with the -w and displays "0.00 1.00
2.00 :: 0".  Is this what it's supposed to do?  Somehow I doubt it  :-(

Usually the last thing dwepdump displays is "packets received: 0" and the
packet count will increase over time.  But if I specify "wicontrol -f 6"
before running dwepdump (dstumbler show that this AP is using channel 6),
that line won't show up.  If -f 6 is specified then dwepdump will only
display the following:
starting pcap capture loop...
 device: wi0
 logfile: logfile


It does *not* display the "packets received: 0" part.  I'm assuming that
dwepdump has locked up here?  Can anyone confirm this on FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE
or any other?

Thanks
Aaron
