Wireshark · Ethereal-users: AW: [Ethereal-users] Ethereal and WLAN sniffing.

[Thorsten.Sick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi

I went to "goonda" and tried it. This page is really helpful. But nothing
changed at all.
I wasn't able to set "Mode: rfmon" in the proc directory. Other modes
worked. After checking drivers, kernel, card-pcmcia 340 ( everything as
described) the last missing thing is: firmware. I use the version 3.93 -
does this version support rfmon ?
Maybe: It was implemented later and i have to get a newer version
Or: They removed the feature in the firmware as they removed it in the
driver.

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks a lot
Thorsten Sick
