Ok here's what i learned until now.
FYI (before changing to monitor mode these were my devices settings)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bruno]# /sbin/iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2346 B
Encryption key:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
To change the mode I have to bring down the zd1211rw-mac80211 driver with:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bruno]# /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 down
then change the to monitor mode with
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bruno]# /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
but when i try to type the commands to bring it up before i hit enter it
shows this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bruno]# /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bruno]# /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up was the command i was trying to bring it up.
Right after that my terminal stoped responding just has firefox and all
other applications.
I tried to shut down and hit restart but that froze the hole system!!!
I tried it again, same thing happened!
