Hi evryone again, as promised http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00772.html Fri, 17 Feb 2006 13:14:37 -0800 I will anyway keep on searching and repost if i find anything asap.
i _am_ writing again. I've been looking for something to inject packets with on the bcm43xx since that mail but nothing helped. I found that the newest Aircrack-ng project http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/wiki/index.php?title=Aircrack-ng (son and actual mantainer of the famous aircrack suite) has now provided with a new set of patches for the hostap injection. since i used the bcm driver with the hostap source in kismet (this instead is a sniffer) http://www.kismetwireless.net/ i thought it could work. A tragedy, patch errors and failed compiles. I then wanted to try the dscape branch to see if the other stack had injection capabilities but, guess what, the kernel panics quickly scared me away. I also tried the usual softmac stack and aireplay-ng (part of the aforementioned injection suite) and i saw it _actually_ sent packets to the bcm without problems but they weren't sent "on air": the firware (possibly, or something else - i am not, purtroppo, a developer) dropped them. Since the aireplay program did not report any errors i thought it was really sending the packets to the card, but something was preventing them to go on air. Finally i went grave digging on the list and found this: "It's pretty trivial to do. Get either driver to export another net_dev to userspace, and everything that is sent from userspace down that device goes to the air directly. NOTE: you cannot send frames with invalid FCS since the hardware appends it." http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00790.html so i thougth that could be done. My actual problem is quantifying the knowledge to code "that". I have never put hands in C code before and my driver programming experience is null. The other question is: is it possible to convince the firmware that we are doing (everything that is sent from userspace down that device goes to the air directly) is legitimate? Any news from someone else? thanks again, bye. -- Andrea Lusuardi aka UoVoBW Registered Linux User #364578 http://uovobw.homelinux.org There's no place I can be Since I found Serenity But you can't take the sky from me _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
