I routinely use Ethereal to read/display packets in rfmon mode. It decodes
packets just fine with or without prism headers. I don't think tcpreplay
will handle 802.11 packets however. It sounds like you are looking for a
tool that will instead rewrite each 802.11 packet as an Ethernet packet by
building an Ethernet header from the 802.11 address fields and pasting that
together with the encapsulated 802.2 data. Is that what you have in mind?
Do you want to replay the packets over a wired network or over wireless?
