Sniffing WiFi Beacon's, Probe Requests, and Probe Responses has been discussed in various previous posts and is possible on the Mikrotik WAP's.
But /interface wireless sniffer sniff requires exclusive access to the radio e.g. it won't work when CAP is enabled.
Could RouterOS be enhanced so that you could create a VAP specifically for monitoring and use that to sniff WiFi management frames? In the same way it handles multiple SSID's.
Or does it require a dedicated radio?
Essentially I want to continuously listen for AP's and devices in the area, and log when they appear.
Thanks,
