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?

 

Thanks,

 

G
