I have a commercial AP that is using a CM9 ath5k radio (evidently, I could be wrong) and it has the ability to do a constant transmit of raw noise (RF probe shows noise, but a monitor-port sniffer does not see any frames from the CM9). I don't know the low-level details of how it is doing this, but I suspect it is using something like madwifi for a driver. Does anyone know how this can be done with modern software and ath5k or ath9k NICs?
Hi Ben, I wrote some code to do this on ath5k -- I can post a patch if you're interested in using ath5k for this. Here's a snapshot of what it looks like when running on ch.1: https://bobcopeland.com/images/speccy-testmode.png -- Bob Copeland %% http://bobcopeland.com/
