RedHat 7.2 default - Orinoco promiscuous mode - AirSort

04-01-2002

Hello,

Was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for configuring RH7.2 default install with a Orinoco gold card and geting AirSnort to set it in promiscuous mode. I have DL'ed and compiled the wlan-ng package and installed. The "default" module that the cardmgr seams to use is the wvlan_cs driver. The airsnort.sourceforge.com page has a patch for the orinoco_cs driver. How do you force cardmgr to use the orinoco_cs driver? when I patch and compile the module, rmmod the wvlan_cs drive and insmod the orinoco_cs driver, but I get "Unresolved_Symbol" messages when I try to use it. I don't want to be lazy and find an RPM that already works damn it.... I want to try and do it myself. I looked at the other discussion threads, but could not find any answers that worked. Please help :|

Thanks, -=shurley=-

you need to download the pcmcia-cs source code and patch it with one of the orinoco patches from the airsnort page...

then you need to force cardmgr to use the orinoco_cs driver by either editing the existing /etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf if wlan-ng installed it or /etc/pcmcia/network.conf. A third option would be to create a new config file in /etc/pcmcia named custom.conf or whatever you want to name it (ending has to be .conf)

in this file you would put somthing along the lines of:

card "Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE Adapter"
version "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/IEEE"
bind "orinoco_cs"

replacing the strings with whatever cardmgr happens to print to the syslog when you insert the card

make sure wireless extensions is enabled in your kernel also, if /proc/wireless/ isnt there you will need to recompile the entire kernel with CONFIG_NET_RADIO or whatever set
