What linux wireless aps work with orinoco cards?

Guest · 05-09-2002

I dont have a cisco or prism2 card yet, only my trusty lucent orinoco silver.

Just installed RH 7.3, and wondering what tools are out there that i can take advantage of to keep war driving.

Anything work 100% with the lucent card for linux?

I've been using Kismet with my Lucent Silver and haven't had any problems.

please do im banging my head against my lappy trying to get all the porper patchs and what not installed, i am not a nix guru yet as i only know a little more then basics but there doesnt seem to be a very straight forward support system for kismet or any other open soruce software. yes i know about the mailing lists, but sometimes it would be nice to just have a simple list of known issues and simple fixes for them.

If anyone is interested I can write up how to get Kismet to work with Lucent cards.

Yes, yes, yes

Since there seems to be some interest I'll write something up. It's going to be a couple of days because I'm in the process of moving across the state.

Jim that would be very helpful, i know i am running into simple issues, most likely because i isntalled the packages in a wrong order. lol my bad

my experience with kismet on a slack based unix machine with a silver orinoco card wasnt that great.... it would detetct AP's but SSID and what not come up. We were using the generic packet capture

I would also like to see a step by step set of instructions for getting an orinoco card into monitor mode with linux. I have tried several times with redhat 7.3 and mandrake 8.2 used pcmcia-cs-3.1.33 patched it with the patchs on airsnort's page, installed no problems. and no monitor mode!!! I also installed wlan-ng ver 14-pre2. and I still can't put the card in monitor mode. I would really like some more info, as there is no real faq for this. I have been using linux for a few years and have never had this much trouble with anything... Please help.

Thanks....
