-----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.
