Hi all,
i'm using 2.6.13 kernel (since this version my pcmcia RoamAbout Orinoco
card works fine) on Presario R3000. I used to use Wavemon, but for a few
months it's not working (after I upgrade some system things or kernel -
I don't know). My system: Slackware 10.1 with the current version of
Dropline Gnome.
Ok, some concrets:

Ok, some explanation:
wlan0 - my broadcom 802.11b/g card
eth1 - my Enterasys RoamAbout Orinoco gold card
Both cards are connected to the same WRT54G router, and works fine.
Actually RoamAbout card works on kernel drivers (without patching - i've
not found yet monitor-mode patch for 2.6.13 kernel).
In the past wavemon and iwlist scanning (with the broadcom card) worked
fine, but now it isn't working at all. I found that when I pass the
"startup_screen = histogram" to the wavemonrc config file it runs. It
crashes when i press F1 (back to info site), but it has signal strange
problems at all.
The next thing is that I can't compile wavemon myself.Actually i'm
using my old package /or binary from internet.

I found that the /usr/include/linux/wireless.h is version 16 (2.4.03),
but /usr/src/linux-2.6.13/include/linux/wireless.h is version 18
(12.3.05). I can't realize if it's wrong or not. When I put the newer
one to /usr/include/linux/ i got this error:

I don't know where the probles is. Here are my speculations. I hope
someone could help me (and others).
I'm sorry for my english..
Thx for all replies,
Jakub.

Ok, I've done some things.
1. "iwlist scan" doesn't working beacuse of old wireless-tools (i
upgraded it to version 27 and it's scanning well :) )
2. I remove kernel 2.6.13 orinoco and hermes modules and install it from
orinoco-0.13e-SN-9.tar.gz package. It works nice in monitor mode too.
3. wavemon still crashes on "info site" with "could not get range
information" error (i must run it with "startup_screen=histogram" in
~/.wavemonrc).
thx,
Jakub
