I am pretty sure it's name will be ipw2200 :-) $ cd /usr/src/linux $ grep -r ipw2200 * | grep Kconfig drivers/net/wireless/ipw2x00/Kconfig: See <file:Documentation/networking/README.ipw2200> for drivers/net/wireless/ipw2x00/Kconfig: <http://ipw2200.sf.net/>. See the above referenced README.ipw2200 drivers/net/wireless/ipw2x00/Kconfig: Enables promiscuous/monitor mode support for the ipw2200 driver. drivers/net/wireless/ipw2x00/Kconfig: % modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1 drivers/net/wireless/ipw2x00/Kconfig: % echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_iface Regards. > > Thanks. >
