NdisWrapper was a giant step backwards if you're interested in 802.11 analysis or wardriving. NDIS (and NdisWrapper by extension) can't pass raw 802.11 frames up the stack. It converts them to a fake Ethernet frame instead, stripping off all of the 802.11-specific information. If you want to see beacon frames, management frames, or 802.11 frame control information you have to use native Linux (or BSD) drivers.
Interesting. Well, unfortunately ndiswrapper is all that is working for me right now. I will keep working on madwifi though.
Thanks,
