For this reason I patched orinoco drivers to support monitr mode.
My kernel version is debian 2.6.7 (orinoco v0.13e).
I successfully applied the patch at <http://www.kismetwireless.net/code/orinoco-0.13e-rfmon-dragorn3.diff> and installe the new kernel.
This is the kernel log after inserting the adapter.
orinoco.c 0.13e (David Gibson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and others) orinoco_cs.c 0.13e (David Gibson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and others) eth2: Station identity 001f:0002:0002:0001 eth2: Looks like a Symbol firmware version [V2.90-58] (parsing to 29058) eth2: Ad-hoc demo mode supported eth2: IEEE standard IBSS ad-hoc mode supported eth2: WEP supported, 104-bit key eth2: MAC address 00:A0:F8:42:88:B5 eth2: Station name "Prism I" eth2: ready eth2: index 0x01: Vcc 5.0, irq 3, io 0x0100-0x0147
everything seems fine, infact:
# iwpriv eth2
eth2 Available private ioctl :
force_reset (8BE0) : set 0 & get 0
card_reset (8BE1) : set 0 & get 0
set_port3 (8BE2) : set 1 int & get 0
get_port3 (8BE3) : set 0 & get 1 int
set_preamble (8BE4) : set 1 int & get 0
get_preamble (8BE5) : set 0 & get 1 int
set_ibssport (8BE6) : set 1 int & get 0
get_ibssport (8BE7) : set 0 & get 1 int
monitor (8BE8) : set 2 int & get 0
dump_recs (8BFF) : set 0 & get 0
but when I set monitor mode I get:
# iwpriv eth2 monitor 2 3 Interface doesn't accept private ioctl... monitor (8BE8): Connection timed out
and the kernel log is:
hermes @ IO 0x100: Timeout waiting for card to reset (reg=0x0080)! hermes @ IO 0x100: Timeout waiting for command completion. eth2: error -110 reading info frame. Frame dropped. hermes @ IO 0x100: Error -16 issuing command. hermes @ IO 0x100: Error -16 issuing command. hermes @ IO 0x100: Error -16 issuing command. hermes @ IO 0x100: Error -16 issuing command. ....... <many of this messages>
What's wrong with my driver or my card ?
some additional info:
# iwpriv -v
iwpriv Wireless-Tools version 27
Compatible with Wireless Extension v11 to v17.Kernel Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v16.
eth2 Driver has no Wireless Extension version information.
