Wellenreiter for qtopia again

[xarope]

jrsjkd, maybe this\'ll help:

I just bought a symbol wireless networker (LA4137) yesterday, and also just flashed to cacko rom (Daniela), so I struggled a bit.

Wellenreiter apparently doesn\'t like a card which cardctl status shows as suspended, so I went to the network app, for Wireless LAN Card, Added an entry with a Config of ANY for the ESS-ID (take the tick out of the Non-Spec...), and Network Type Ad-Hoc.  For the TCP/IP tab I unticked obtain..., then put in an IP of 1.1.1.1, subnet 255.255.255.0 and gateway 1.1.1.0.  I had to do the latter as if you leave it as obtain... then after a while it stops trying to auto-connect and hence go back to suspend =] wellenreiter will fail.

So, hit OK, then back to the Services Tab, click Auto and Auto-connect.  The next time I plugged in my symbol card, the globe would show on the app bar, with status auto-connecting.  At this point, start up wellenreiter, Sniffer -] Configure, and you SHOULD now see eth0 in there.

Hope this helps!

FYI I am using 0.99, waiting for 1.3 for sharp ROM!

offroadgeek,

YGM.  I sent you Wellenriter, libopie(s), libpcap, and kismet 3.0.1c ipks for the Sharp ROM, along with instructions.

jrsjkd,

Yes, minimally you need to have wireless extensions working with a driver that has monitor mode available.  This includes spectrum/orinoco and hostap driver.  Outside of this, you will likely have trouble getting it to run.  What card are your using?  Also, a \"hack\" that helps some get this to work is to use the orinoco driver.  Copy your card\'s info from your wlan-ng.conf file, and place it in the spectrum.conf file.  Then substitute the \"prism_cs\" on the driver line to \"orinoco_cs\".  This might work for you.

hey guys, thnx for all the input

Im running a dlink dcf660w and linksys wcf12.  Is there a site where i can find out the types of chipsets these use?

jrsjkd,

Both of your cards are Prism chipsets, and thus the hostap would be the one for you to use.

Go here for how I got wellenreiter working with the new Cacko ROM (v1.20 released March 5).  javab0y, can this be simplified?  Is there a way to also make Kismet work without having to switch back and forth between the prism and orinoco drivers?

[javab0y]

Take all of your script code (the code that changes the prism to orinoco and back that you posted in the other thread) and place it in the Kismet sh script.  Some tips for you:

To programmatically remove/reinsert your card enter the following:

cardctl eject
cardctl insert

This way you don\'t need to pull and put the card back into your Z manually.

Also, your card also is a hostap card.  Did you try the hostap drivers?  Those should prevent the need to swap drivers.

javab0y--I tried the hostap drivers but couldn\'t get them work at all.  Is there something I need to do to use them beyond installing the ipk file?

[toadatrix]

javab0y--where is that kismet sh script file located?  I can\'t find it.

[javab0y]

I *think* its in /usr/local/bin.  Its just called kismet.  You can also write a script yourself that calls kismet, with your swap code surrounding it.

Other have has success with this...be sure to get your card\'s configuration in the hostap_cs.conf file, but be sure it binds to the hostap_cs driver.

Then do this:

In hostap_cs.conf and change the first entry by changing class \"Network\" to class \"wlan-ng\".

Reboot.

[jrsjkd]

ok, couple of things here after having installed hostap drivers...

i couldnt find hostap_cs.conf.

hostap doesnt recognize my dlink card correctly.

I havent been able to connect to the internetregularly under hostap.

I have been able to get wellenreiter working 3 times now.  i go through the cardctl scheme routine.  it wont work the first time.  but after wards if i pull out the card and put it back in, i imediatly get the blinking light and wellenreiter will work.  trying to connect to the internet kills the light, and the ability to run wellenreiter.

Also, every time i do this, the interface in which i need to configure wellenreiter is incremented by 1.  For instance im using eth2 ATM.

iwconfig gives me some interesting info. I get an error that says \"warning: driver for device eth2 has been compiled with version 12 of wireless extension, while this program is using version 13.  some things may be broken...\"

lol....no sh|t

[toadatrix]

jrsjkd--I don\'t know about your other problems, but I also get that \"warning: driver for device eth2 has been compiled with version 12 of wireless extension, while this program is using version 13. some things may be broken...\" message.  It seems to me that it is working OK, however.  I am inclined not to worry about it.

[jrsjkd]

can you connect regularly to internet??  I cannot

[toadatrix]

Yes, I can connect to the internet with no problems.  Did you look at this as it may help.  Also, how did you edit the file to allow Wellenreiter to run as root?
