I recall grep'ing /var/log/* for the file(s) containing the "eth1: Error -5 writing packet to BAP" message. Then note the first timestamp of the error message. Then grep for that timestamp and add that to the list of daemons to stop. I had to do this 2 or 3 times before correctly stopping all the daemons that interact with the wireless card. A couple of other ideas: - download and run Knoppix, it reportedly has Orinoco rfmon patches and kismet - try a Cisco card if you have it Regarding firmware, my Orinoco Gold PCMCIA card running 8.10 works fine with Kismet. Upgrading firmware on Orinoco or Prism cards requires having drivers loaded. I recommend getting Release 7.4 Winter 2002 drivers & firmware (8.10) from Proxim site. Install the new drivers and then upgrade the firwmare. http://www.proxim.com/support/software/ORiNOCO/PC_Card/Firmware/R7.4winter20 02/WSU_810.exe -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
