atho not in monitor mode

ShadowWing · 10-03-2006

Hi
I have the following problem:
I can not get my DLink DWL AG650 card into monitor mode with madwifi driver.
But with Backtrack Bootable cd I can get the same card into monitor mode.

I took the following steps:
->Install Suse 10.1
->Download madwifi source from madwifi.org
->Dowload madwifi-ng-r1730.patch from http://patches.aircrack-ng.org
->Patch the driver "patch -Np1 -i ../madwifi-ng-r1730.patch"
->Compile the driver "make KENRELPATH=/usr/src/linux"
->Run "make install"
->Run "depmode -ae"
->Run "modprobe ath_pci"

When I run iwconfig ath0 is present but when i run
"iwconfig ath0 mode monitor"
I get
"Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device ath0 ; invalid argument"

but with Backtrack bootcd, I can change to monitor mode with the same
hardware.
Help Needed!
