bringing up wireless interface without AP connection?
« on: April 25, 2004, 06:09:03 pm »
This is for tkcROM

I run kismet on my Z but it seems the only way to scan is to first connect to an AP and then you can scan.

my card is a prism2 chipset, it loads the modules fine, the interface is eth0, i\'ve made a network setting to connect to my home access point and it works fine... but you can\'t just turn on the wireless connection!

iwconfig eth0 says nothing
ifconfig eth0 up says the device doesn\'t exists..

i\'ve even tried creating a wardrive profile with ssid any so i can at least have the interface up to scan.... but when it discovers there is no AP to connect to the interface goes down... and scanning is not possible...

how do tkcrom people use kismet?
