364	Conflict by working with lorcon-lib on same Atheros device	p0chk@…		"Hi, guys,
i've met some trubles by trying make airodump working on same device with my tool which uses lorcon lib
(802.11ninja.net/lorcon/) to inject packets.
As i've found out things are like that:
lorcon sets dev_type (/proc/sys/net/athX/dev_type) to RADIOTAP
and airodump-ng sets dev_type to PRISM
(which was specially added after this ticket: trac.aircrack-ng.org/ticket/199)

So, what i have is:
if my tool (any tool based on lorcon lib) starts first then when airodump-ng starts my tool 
is no more able to inject packets because dev-type has changed to PRISM

if airodump starts first then when my tool starts airodump stops processing incoming packets because dev_type gas changed to 
RADIOTAP and airodump waits for PRISM headers...

Meanwhile Airodump-ng understands RADIOTAP headers perfectly well.
If i comment out the code in airodump which changes dev_type to PRISM everithing is OK. 
(maybe the power of signal is not displayed, but i don't care)

So what i suggest is

to add some option to implicitly change dev-type
or
to check periodicaly if dev_type has changed. if it has then to process headers of incoming packets accordingly.
