analysing mesh traffic

[Andrey Yurovsky]

Also please make sure your sniffer interface has working monitor mode
(not all drivers do).

For my Intel cards, I bring down the wlan0 interface, make a monitor
interface, and then tell wireshark to use that:

sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo iw dev wlan0 interface add mon0 type monitor
sudo ifconfig mon0 up
..etc
