orinoco monitor mode under development sources

I am russing 2.6.0-test3 kernel and using the kernel orinoco modules for wireless. The kernel modules do not seem to have monitoring mode, as running kismet spits out a warning saying monitor is not implemented. Any one know if there is a patch out there implementing this in the development kernels? Thanks

Hi,

I am asking myself exactly the same question.
I was just about to open my own thread here to ask if anyone has already got experiences if and how to use orinoco under 2.6 in monitor mode but then I found yours. ;-)

Did you find something regarding this issue? If not I would simply give the existing old kernel patches from the Airsnort homepage a try...

You shouldn't need any special patch, the shmoo patches work fine. When in doubt look at orinoco.c and check the correct version. Run on over the the shmoo group http://airsnort.shmoo.com/orinocoinfo.html and snag the correct patch for the version of the orinoco source you are using. Sometimes you need to create a soft link in your kernel sources above the wireless directory to make it patch without complaining, or else you can tell it where each file is, theres only four. Working fine for me.
