thank you for that fast answer.

now i've upgraded the hole distro, but monitor mode won't work. if i use modinfo, the module seems to use the driver from 2.6.16-kernel.

what i have to do now ? do i have to recompile the module, or how to load the correct version of the module ?

thanks, again...

Hi,

...

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.
