Re: [Aironet] aironet350 and prom mode

[Bryan D. P. <bd...@cs...>]

Check the mac address of your card (using ifconfig).  If it appears to be too 
long (i.e., too many octets...you'll know exactly what I mean if you see it) 
then you should be good to go.

If you need some good instructions on getting your card to work in rfmon 
mode, you may want to check out:

http://www.cs.umd.edu/~npetroni/airo.html

This page contains a brief howto.
