Re: [expert] Orinoco gold driver problems
From: Praedor Atrebates [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have been trying to get kismet, the wlan sniffer, to work with my orinoco gold. There are patches available for the orinoco driver that allows it to go into monitor mode. The thing is, all the sources indicate that the default driver version in the 2.4.21 kernel series was orinoco 0.13b. The patches available are for 0.13b or later. I check my mandrake 2.4.21 kernel orinoco driver and it is version 0.13a. Why is the mandrake kernel behind the curve with regards to orinoco drivers? I cannot get my kernel orinoco driver patched to permit it to go into monitor mode (I need monitor mode to try to detect a possible wireless ISP from a long distance via a parabolic antenna). I cannot patch the 0.13a orinoco driver with ANY available orinoco patch as they are all for more up-to-date driver versions. I have tried and it totally screws up the orinoco driver. Can anyone tell me how I could go about upgrading my kernel pcmcia orinoco driver WITHOUT having to resort to pcmcia-cs and rebuilding my kernel, etc? Is there no way to upgrade the kernel's orinoco driver and then patch it? for MDK 9.1 the update kernel is 2.4.21-0.25mdk wich carries orinoco 0.13c for MDK 9.2 we hav the latest orinoco, and that sniffer patch will be in my next kernel-tmb in contribs...

Great (and I also now see where the kernel-tmb comes from...I hadn't been paying much attention). As for the 2.4.21-0.25mdk kernel, I cannot get that kernel, or any kernel beyond 0.13mdk, to work on my laptop after I rebuild it. I build my own kernel every time because I include some of the grsecurity stuff that is not included in the default kernel. Whereas I have no problems at all with the 2.4.21-0.13mdk kernel, if I try any subsequent kernel, it panics at bootup. Every time and no matter what I do. My laptop is an IBM Thinkpad 1412 celeron 366. I haven't tried the binary kernels beyond 0.13mdk though - they aren't really useful to me unless I can build them with some grsecurity items. praedor -- Faith is the very antithesis of reason, injudiciousness a critical component of spiritual devotion. --Krakauer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Orinoco gold driver problems
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I downloaded the orinoco-0.13e drivers, patched them with the monitor patch, and replaced the default kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk orinoco drivers with them. They sort of work. If I run iwpriv I get monitor as one of the available options but trying to put the card into monitor mode fails. I can put in into ad-hoc and managed mode, just not monitor. As I have never looked at any kernel-tmb rpms...do you supply a kernel-source rpm for it as well? As soon as I install 9.2 I will want to dump the kernel and replace it with one that provides patched orinoco drivers to allow for monitor mode. The -tmb kernel sounds OK except I want some grsecurity functions activated and that means recompiling the kernel. praedor On Sunday 19 October 2003 07:22 am, Thomas Backlund wrote: From: Praedor Atrebates [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have been trying to get kismet, the wlan sniffer, to work with my orinoco gold.
