*    -[ Instructions for Cisco / Aironet cards ]-            *

The Cisco aironet cards are very well tested in combination with Wellenreiter. In fact, most of the development is done based on aironet cards. This card/driver provides some nifty advanced features like on-the-fly change of mac address.


* Installing a working driver version: *

To get cisco / aironet cards to work, you have to do some stuff.

  1. Get the driver files from: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/checkout/airo-linux/airo-linux/kernel/airo.c?rev=1.34 http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/checkout/airo-linux/airo-linux/kernel/airo_cs.c?rev=1.4 http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/checkout/airo-linux/airo-linux/kernel/airo.h?rev=1.7
          Copy these to your pcmcia source tree or the kernel tree,
          where the oringinal airo.c is located.

          !!! Don't use the newest driver files, they don't work correctly !!!  
 
        2. Read the README and install/update your driver with the driver
          you downloaded.

        3. Verify the lipcap and tcpdump versions on your machine are
          compatible with 802.11b packets.  Normally I prefer to download
          the current versions from http://www.tcpdump.org
          See Wellenreiter FAQ: 'What this message mean: "Warning: arptype
                                        801 not supported by libpcap -
                                        falling back to cooked socket"'
        
        4. Get the Net::Pcap module for perl from http://www.cpan.org.
          See Wellenreiter FAQ:  "Whats the error: Can't locate
                                        Net/Pcap.pm in @INC"
        
        5. Test your driver etc.
          See Wellenreiter FAQ:  "How can i test if my card works in
                                        rfmon mode."

############################################# # How to bring it into rfmon mode manually: # #############################################

When you are sure that you have the correct drivers installed you can enter the following two commands as root:

        echo "Mode: r" > /proc/driver/aironet/eth1/Config 
        echo "Mode: y" > /proc/driver/aironet/eth1/Config

You may have to replace eth1 with a different interface name. Verify rfmon mode is working using ifconfig -a. If your monitoring mode is ok you should see something like this:

'Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-03-4D-A7-55-F2-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00'

If instead you see something like this:

'Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:43:A7:0C:F4'

your card is not in rfmon mode - recheck your driver installation.
