I have set the wifi card into sniffer mode but I am not getting any 11n packets? and hence none of the 11n fields are getting populated. They are always 0. Also, the "rate" field seems to be only the values "11" or "0" for me. No other value is shown even though packets are being captured successfully.

I am not sure what do I have to do to capture 11n packets? and get the rest of the fields populated?

Any help would be much appreciated guys!

I am under a deadline and I was assuming all along that these fields would be available and populated, but it does not seem to be so in sniffer mode.

Anyone from Espressif?
