i have grml@hd, ipw2200 modules -1.0.8 with linux-headers-2.6.16-grml, so i think it's grml 0.7 and don't know witch driverversion...
modinfo ipw2200
and monitor mode doesn't work:
# iwconfig eth0 mode monitor Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device eth0 ; Invalid argument.
please, does anyone know how to get working this?
Use a newer kernel, or just run apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade The upgrade should run without any problems.
The problem is, that in this kernel release the monitor mode isn't enabled in the source, so you could not put the card in the monitor mode if you are using the ipw2200 driver from vanilla. You have to manually patch the source, build you're own driver, or upgrade :)
thanks, markus.
