I don't know how to verify whether you could sniff on all the BSSID or
not, but it seems to me that it should've just worked... As to trying
AirTraf, you can run AirTraf without getting the modified driver, you
won't get signal strength stuff, but otherwise, it should work fine as
long as you modify the airtraf.c source code before compiling. Change
SIGNAL_SUPPORT = 1 to SIGNAL_SUPPORT = 0 (inside airtraf.c).

I'm not sure about the WEP data stuff.
