 |

Hi all,
I've been trying to get kismet up and running, just to play around with it  . My problem is that my wireless card doesn't seem to support monitoring mode. It's an Intersil prism 2.5 chipset, internal, on an IBM Thinkpad T30. Here's what I get from iwpriv:
| Code: | midnite btimm # iwpriv
eth0 no private ioctls.
lo no private ioctls.
dummy0 no private ioctls.
eth1 Available private ioctls :
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
dump_recs (8BFF) : set 0 & get 0

Is there a way to get a patched driver so that I can use my card in monitor mode? Right now I just have it compiled in my kernel...
Wireless Lan Drivers (Non-Hamradio) & Wireless Extensions -> Hermes chipset 802.11b Support (Orinoco/Prism 2/Symbol) -> Prism 2.5 802.11b PCI adaptor support.
I really hope somebody can help with this! Thanks.
P.S. May a solution be to use the wlan-ng drivers instead? I could then use the wlan-ng control source for kismet....

Alright, I've surmised that somehow my Prism2.5 uses Orinoco drivers, specifically 0.13e. Now, that driver itself does not have monitoring support, but there is a patch here http://www.kismetwireless.net/download.shtml#orinoco2611 for linux kernel 2.6.11 to add monitoring support. My question is whether or not it will compile against the gentoo-sources or if i need to use the vanilla sources. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
