Hi all,
I used hostapd to change the AR9233 NIC to master mode. Then I use Wireshark to capture monitor wlan0.But I've only captured Probe Reques. I don't know what is wrong. I want to capture beacon frames, could you please help me? Thanks a lot.

These is record of mon.wlan0:

1    0.000000    Apple_59:b1:68    Broadcast    IEEE 802.11    Probe Request, SN=1821, FN=0, Flags=........, SSID="sMobileNet"
2    0.010399    Apple_59:b1:68    Broadcast    IEEE 802.11    Probe Request, SN=1822, FN=0, Flags=........, SSID="sMobileNet"
