Hi All, I have been experimenting with my wireless cardbus and cannot get it to work with airodump-ng:
>From lshw: *-network description: Wireless interface product: AR5212 802.11abg NIC vendor: Atheros Communications, Inc. physical id: 3 bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:04:00.0 logical name: wifi0 version: 01 serial: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list logical ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=ath_pci ip=XX.XX.XXX.XXX latency=168 maxlatency=28 mingnt=10 module=ath_pci multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11g lspci -v gives: 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01) Subsystem: PROXIM Inc Device 0a10 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 11 Memory at 44000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 Kernel driver in use: ath_pci Kernel modules: ath_pci I am using net-wireless/madwifi-ng-0.9.4 When I run airmon-ng it shows my ath0 interface: # airmon-ng Interface Chipset Driver wifi0 Atheros madwifi-ng ath0 Atheros madwifi-ng VAP (parent: wifi0) Running 'airmon-ng start wifi0' it creates a new VAP ath1 and puts it in Monitor mode. So far so good, but running airodump-ng shows no data being captured. Trying to stop ath0 (in case it interferes) shuts down /etc/init.d/net.ath0, although I still get ath1 shown in iwconfig. Have I missed something basic here? Do I need perhaps to add net.ath1 -> /etc/init.d/net.lo in the same way that I have done for ath0? -- Regards, Mick
