Hello there,

 

I'm trying to do some sniffing with my Cisco 350 pcmcia WLAN adapter. From the various docs I've found this should be a piece of cake. I think I have all I need: latest libpcap, tcpdump and ethereal. The aironet drivers of the kernel should allow promiscuous mode, but when id echo 'Mode: r' or 'Mode: y' or 'Mode: rfmon' to /proc/driver/aironet/eth1/Config. I don't see any changes afterwards. Don't need to say that sniffing doesn't work...

 

Has anybody got an idea on what might be wrong? Is my kernel driver not ok (Mandrake 9.0)?

 

Thanks,

 

G
