I am a TOTAL newbie to linux! I didn't know how to open symantec
yesterday. I have searched for my problem in madwifi.org and found just
one revelant that was resulted invalid.
So...I downloaded UBUNTU so i can run aircrack or kismet...when i
installed aircrack, got to the last line to start it i got this
{{{
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo airodump-ng rausb0
Interface rausb0:
ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX) failed: No such device
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo airodump-ng wifi0
Interface wifi0:
ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX) failed: No such device
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo airodump-ng wlan0
ioctl(SIOCSIFFLAGS) failed: No such file or directory
}}}
So i did some research and found out that it is probably due to a unpached
driver (whatever that means)... i found that madwifi is the "patch to my
driver"...
I search how to patch driver and follow these directions:
madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo...When i get to the part where i
have to turn madwifi devices down i get:
{{{
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ifconfig ath0 down
ath0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ifconfig wifi0 down
wifi0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
}}}
Comment (by mrenzmann):
Please contact our [wiki:Support regular support channels] first. It seems
to me that you're facing a support issue rather than a bug in the driver.
In case it turns out I was wrong, feel free to reopen this ticket by
providing further information.
