Fake-AP and SIOCSIFHWADDR: Invalid Argument

I am using mandrake 9.1 and was going to mess around with some of my friends when they go out driving and so i found this Fake-AP software by reading some posts on this board so i decided to mess around with it.

but when i try to run it without any arguments other than --interface wifi0 i get the error

and i am not sure what this it.

when i run it using interface eth0 i seems to run but nothing gets broadcasted and i cannot detect anything with kismet or netstumbler on other machines.

i have searched google for this error message and all i seem to come up with is stuff about linking AX25 into the kernel on boot and its for hams and such but this is not what i am doin is it?

has anyone else came accrossed this error? oh and i do have hostap installed and i even tried reinstalling and everything that depended on it and i had no luck.

any input would be greatly appriciated. Thanks.
