[Airo-linux-general] Aironet 340 and Redhat 7.3 woes

[Ben C. <BCr...@An...>]

Hello All!

I'm working with the following:
Stock Redhat 7.3 on HP omnibook laptop (Kernel 2.4.18-3)
airo.c driver version 1.5.2 2001/01/22 
aironet 340 card 
aironet firmware 4.25.30 

I cannot get the card to go into promisc mode.  I've tried the echo 'Mode:
r' command to the Config file, but it still will not go into rfmon mode.
The best I can get is after I've assoicated to an AP I can then see
broadcast and my traffic.  Not good ehough if you're trying to audit
someone. anyway.  

At this point I believe that the stock driver just won't go into promisc
mode.  So I went the cvs path and grabbed the latest airo-linux code from
sourceforge.  I've copied over the airo.c and airo_cs.c code into the kernel
tree and did the makes.  I get all the way to make bzImage and then die in a
flurry of "invalid type argument of '->'" errors near line 7635.  ugh.. So I
cannot compile the latest version.  Does anyone have any pointers on how to
get this going, or how to get the 1.5.2 version to actually bump into
promisc mode?  I'm really at a loss. Thanks in advance!
