Public bug reported: ubuntu 10.04/"lucid lynx" i386 linux-image-2.6.32-23-generic 2.6.32-23.37
ath5k sees LLC, but not data, packets when channel hopping in monitor/promiscuous mode (eg kismet, airodump). start of email thread on linux-wireless (bug report -> diagnosis -> patch) http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg50910.html corresponding patch in recently released 2.6.32.16 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.32.y.git;a=commit;h=0a1a8d8443d8deeb30985b531f34542c97c095a6 i looked in the most recent (2.6.32-24.38) changelog and didn't see any applicable references to "ath5k", so i presume this bug has not been fixed in a proposed update. i figure this is a low priority bug/patch (except for us white/black hats), but consider this bug report my vote for inclusion in lucid's kernel and the above linux-wireless email thread another ubuntu user's vote (ie "The 2.6.32 kernel shipped in lucid never sees data packets."). thanks for maintaining the linux kernel in ubuntu! ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: ath5k kernel linux monitor promiscuous -- ath5k: monitor/promiscuous mode broken with channel hopping https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/602795 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
