Hi all,
I have compiled airsnort and kismet, when I run airsnort it tells me that I need to run eth1 mode=Monitor. I run iwconfig eth1 mode Monitor and I get
[EMAIL PROTECTED] kevin]# iwconfig eth1 mode monitor Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument.
can anyone help?
thanks

What wireless card do you have? If its Orinoco/Lucent/Avaya/Agree you need a patched driver or the new drivers*.
*There is a new driver which hasn't reached the kernel 0.15rc2 (current kernels have 0.13e). 0.15rc1 was meant to have monitor mode but it hasn't worked for me, either has rc2.

The schmoo site has some info on how to patch 0.13e, but it doesn't work for me. I went out and bought a PrismGT based chipset card, and works fine with kismet, (I bought it thinking it was a prism2 card, wanting to take advantage of the hostap drivers- which also have better WPA support).

Knoppix has the patched driver if you would like to give that a thrash.
