Hi
I first posted on the newbie site, but then was suggested to
move to this forum. I made the mistake of reposting the question
exactly, so this time I will rephrase the question.
My goal is to compile madwifi for a DLink-AG650 PCMCIA card
(with the patch to for aircrack).
The card works with BackTrack and Auditor bootable cd's and
use the MadWifi lib. Here follows the steps I took compile
the madwifi driver
->Install Suse10.1
->Download madwifi source from http://www.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 or Auditor bootcd, I can change to monitor mode with the same hardware.
On the newbie forum it was suggested that I use the madwifi forum, but
they dont support the patch.
Thnaks for an help
