Title: Kismet & Symbol & wireless kernel problems (once aga
Post by: LadyBug on February 27, 2004, 08:54:51 am
I just installed the pre-emptive + wireless kernel (no overclk)
from the ZUG downloads area to my 760. All went fine but
I can\'t get kismet to work with my Symbol WiFi card.
I \'ve got both the kismet 3.1.0 and the older kismet_qt
ipks installed.

- lsmod shows the spectrum_cs/orinoco/hermes modules present.
- iwconfig shows the Symbol card in eth1
- if I do \"kismet -corinoco,eth1,orinocosource\"
  I get a complaint that kismet cannot find monitor mode.
- It\'s true, iwpriv eth1 does NOT mention monitor mode.

How come? I thought this kernel was supposed to have
the wireless monitor mode stuff included?
