\mainpage AirPcap interface documentation
\section Introduction
This document describes the data structures and the functions exported by the CACE Technologies AirPcap library.
The AirPcap library provides low-level access to the AirPcap driver including advanced capabilities such as channel setting,
link type control and WEP configuration.<br>
This manual includes the following sections:
\note throughout this documentation, \e device refers to a physical USB AirPcap device, while \e adapter is an open API
instance. Most of the AirPcap API operations are adapter-specific but some of them, like setting the channel, are
per-device and will be reflected on all the open adapters. These functions will have "Device" in their name, e.g.
AirpcapSetDeviceChannel().
\b Sections:
- \ref airpcapfuncs
- \ref airpcapdefs
- \ref radiotap

destination address equals to the adapter's address. This means the following frames will be received:

The main reason to turn monitor mode off is that, when not in monitor mode, the adapter will acknowledge the
data frames sent to its address. This is useful when the adapter needs to interact with other devices on the
802.11 network, because handling the ACKs in software is too slow.

- <b>Frequency 2437 Extension 0</b>. Control channel is 6, no extension channel is used (20MHz channel and legacy mode).
- <b>Frequency 2437 Extension -1</b>. Control channel is 6, extension channel is 2.

\param pNumChannelInfo Number of channels returned in the array.
