A Google for

	aironet "control frame" rfmon

found this message:

	http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/dev/aironet/2002-q1/0206.html

which suggests that it might be possible to capture at least some
control frames with Aironet cards.  However, the Wildpackets driver that
comes with AiroPeek might be doing something that the Linux driver isn't
doing.

I don't know whether anybody's fixed that or not.
