RE: [Airo-linux-general] Promisc mode doesn't work

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

Johnny,
This driver will not report that it is in promisc mode thru the /proc
sub-system.  if you do an ifconfig -a you'll see that once the card is =
in
promisc mode the MAC changes to a really long string.  You can't miss =
it.
One thing to be aware of is that if you suspend the machine, when it =
wakes
back up the card will be back in ESS mode.  enjoy and hope that helps!

-Ben

Subject: [Airo-linux-general] Promisc mode doesn't work


Hi all,

Following the Kevin's suggests of his last e-mail I put
the variation of the airo-linux driver of Airtraf software within
pcmcia-cs-3.1.34/wireless directory and did the makes. After that,
I tried to use the promisc mode in several way :

echo "Mode: rfmon" > /proc/driver/aironet/eth1/Config
echo "Mode: r" > /proc/driver/aironet/eth1/Config
echo "Mode: y" > /proc/driver/aironet/eth1/Config
echo 'Mode: rfmon' > /proc/driver/aironet/eth1/Config
echo 'Mode: r' > /proc/driver/aironet/eth1/Config
echo 'Mode: y' > /proc/driver/aironet/eth1/Config

but the /proc/driver/aironet/eth1/Config file don=B4t change and
the Mode parameter always is ESS. Only accept the "ad-hoc" or "ESS" =
values.

Someone have any idea about this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Johnny
