[Bug 225152] New: ipw3945.ko supplied w/o monitor mode
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225152 Summary: ipw3945.ko supplied w/o monitor mode Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 1 Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: casualprogrammer@yahoo.com QAContact: qa@suse.de While ipw3945 is detected and configured properly on installation, kismet fails with "no monitor mode". The ipw3945 module has to be recompiled manually after setting the monitor mode params in Makefile. ( This is not trivial ) This does not make sense. If software is offered in YaST, relying absolutely on monitor mode, the respective SuSE provided driver should have monitor mode enabled.

Monitor mode still not available in openSuSE 10.3 alpha 2. In the meantime I have made a script to automate the process of recompiling ipw3945.ko after software-update. This is really hard to believe, all you need to do to cure this for the distribution is remove three hash-symbols commenting out monitor / promiscuous mode in the Makefile. The changelog for ipw3945.ko shows: - update to ipw3945-1.2.0 for January 21st 2007 by - olh@suse.de This bug was reported 2006-11-30 16:33 MST, Joachim stated "I'm going to enable it." on 2007-01-10 04:01:13 MST -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
