Hello,

Thanks for this script, I'm using it for a personal project!

I don't know if it's currently obsolete or not, the if condition which tests the type and the subtype never returns positive value to me. So I changed if pkt.haslayer (Dot11): so that it becomes if pkt.haslayer (Dot11ProbeReq):

I was then able to delete the if type && subtype
