[Madwifi-users] Packet injection problem again

[David <sha...@ho...>]

I recently posted a problem about packet injection and aireplay coming
up with a message about a /dev/rtc device.  After I compiled the Real
Time Clock in the kernel (I should have known this) every time I use
aireplay to try and inject packets for stress testing my network I run
into one of two problems, depending on what version of the drivers I'm
using.

When using madwifi-bsd, which I've read has packet injection support,
and using the newest aireplay 2.2-beta3 and running ethereal 0.10.11,
every packet that ethereal sees coming from aireplay is a malformed
packet, not a deauth packet or arp-request like it is supposed to be.
When using madwifi-current with a patch for packet support found in
aireplay on my gentoo system, I get the same results; malformed packets.

Yesterday I got the latest version of the Security Auditor CD, which
says it has packet-injection-patched madwifi drivers and when I tried
aireplay 2.2-beta3 (which I had to mount from my gentoo hard drive
because the one on the CD was an old version) I got a kernel panic and
the system froze, and I could not take a screen shoot, although it did
mention the ath_pci module, which I believe is compiled in part from
if_ath.c which is the source file that the packet injection patch changed.

Does anyone have a verified patch or driver for packet injection that
works with either -current or -bsd?

TIA
