I have no idea :(.  All I know is that passive sniffing and being connected
at the same time just do not work.


Kismet and company switch channels in order to scan, which automatically
drops you from whatever AP you were connected to on the (now) old
channel.

Not sure why just firing up snort would drop AP. I suspect the driver
sees the card is now in promiscuous mode and decides it needs to reset
the card / AP association.

Kinda weird. I do wifi sniffing w/ snort and kismet all the time. Kismet
drops AP as expected. Snort never does.
