[zd1211-devs] PROBLEMS with monitor mode zd1211rw-mac80211 driver on a zd1211b usb stick HLP
Had some problems earlier but they are solved once I googled some more. Now the problem is I can't configure monitor mode using FEDORA 7!! Ran ifconfig and got: wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:XX:XX:XX:XX UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) wmaster0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-0E-XX-XX-XX-XX-C8-58-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:31005 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:20383 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:39237968 (37.4 MiB) TX bytes:2047462 (1.9 MiB) THEN I RAN IWCONFIG BUT I GOT THIS ERROR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bruno]# /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 mode Monitor Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Device or resource busy.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bruno]# /sbin/iwconfig wmaster0 mode Monitor Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device wmaster0 ; Operation not supported. (wlan0 and wmaster0 have the same mac adress, so why it's not supported?)

You have to bring the interface down to change the mode in mac80211, then bring it up to use it... like ifconfig wlan0 down > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bruno]# /sbin/iwconfig wmaster0 mode Monitor > Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : > SET failed on device wmaster0 ; Operation not supported.

[zd1211-devs] ZD1211b chip: 2.6.20 => 2.6.21 regression
Hi, since kernel v2.6.21, my WiFi is not useable any longer. The driver is telling me that "AL2230S devices are not yet supported." But, I have a simple AL2230 device. dmesg output is the following: << zd1211rw 1-2:1.0: firmware version 4725 zd1211rw 1-2:1.0: zd1211b chip 050d:705c v4810 high 00-17-3f AL2230_RF pa0 g--N To make the driver work again, I have modified zd_chip.c:430: chip->al2230s_bit = (value >> 7) & 0x1; into chip->al2230s_bit = 0; /*(value >> 7) & 0x1;*/ More informations on request...
