Hi All,
I have been experimenting with my wireless cardbus and cannot get it
to work with airodump-ng:
>From lshw:

product: AR5212 802.11abg NIC
vendor: Atheros Communications, Inc.
physical id: 3
bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:04:00.0
logical name: wifi0

lspci -v gives:
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212
802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
Subsystem: PROXIM Inc Device 0a10
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 11

Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2
Kernel driver in use: ath_pci
Kernel modules: ath_pci
I am using net-wireless/madwifi-ng-0.9.4
When I run airmon-ng it shows my ath0 interface:
# airmon-ng
Interface Chipset Driver
wifi0 Atheros madwifi-ng
ath0 Atheros madwifi-ng VAP (parent: wifi0)
Running 'airmon-ng start wifi0' it creates a new VAP ath1 and puts it
in Monitor mode. So far so good, but running airodump-ng shows no
data being captured. Trying to stop ath0 (in case it interferes)
shuts down /etc/init.d/net.ath0, although I still get ath1 shown in
iwconfig.
Have I missed something basic here? Do I need perhaps to add net.ath1
-> /etc/init.d/net.lo in the same way that I have done for ath0?
