└─>Enable creation of a RF radiotap promiscuous interface
In linux kernel since version 2.6.20 (release Date: 2007-02-04)
Enables the creation of a second interface prefixed 'rtap'.
This second interface will provide every received in radiotap
format.
This is useful for performing wireless network analysis while
maintaining an active association.
Example usage:
% modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1
% ifconfig rtap0 up
% tethereal -i rtap0
If you do not specify 'rtap_iface=1' as a module parameter then
the rtap interface will not be created and you will need to turn
it on via sysfs:
% echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_iface
