    Knoppix STD and Airsnort

    I am trying to get AirSnort working on Linux *Knoppix STD*. I am using a Prism2 based card *Netgear MA401*. The card is found by linux in the bootup section. It loads up some stuff and says Orinico and Prism 2, etc. In Linux it self, If I put "iwpriv eth0*, it shows my Wireless Card and the drop down list includes the word "monitor" listed. When I run the Wireless Config. it finds my Card and asks for some config details etc. I try to run Airsnort, it wont show eth0 in the device, I sleect Prism2 and hit scan, it says cannot put in Monitor Mode. But, when I run "Wellenreiter Wireless Scanner" and leave it on for a bit it finds many BssID's and also sniffs packets. So what do I have to do to get Airsnort to work!? It says needs to be put in Monitor mode... I tried "iwpriv eth0 monitor 1 7" in the Shell Root as well. When I hit return it just starts a new line, so I guess that is ok? What do I have to do to get AirSnort to work?

    Solved? pls let us know how

    I'm exact at the same point. MA401 is recognized, started and fails.

    What have you done?

    Airsnort and Prism

    I am a beginner with Linux I am trying to get Airsnort working and I am getting the message that " Could not set to monitor mode". My laptop has an inbuilt Prism card. I also inserted a WaveLan silver PCMCIA card and I got the same message.

    Can you tell me what I could try out to fix this issue?

    Thanks

    I sometimes encounter kinda the same problem, usually its enough for me to fill in eth0 (or your equavilent). Otherwise it replies "can not set monitor mode"

    That's how I made it work (using Knoppix-STD):

    1. Boot Knoppix
    2. Remove 802.11 card
    3. Go to Menu/Wireless and click on "orinoco patch"
    4. Wait until it's done
    5. Insert card back
    6. Open terminal window and type:
    sudo airsnort &
    7. In Airsnort select:
    device: eth0
    card type: orinoco-cs
    8. Click start, you should see list of APs and packets coming

    As a sanity check after #5 you can type "iwpriv" in the terminal window and see if "eth0" is listed and has "monitor" item.

    You can also mount your hard drive to save/restore airsnort's capture between sessions. Just do "mount /mnt/hda1" in the treminal window. Clicking on HDA1 on the desktop mounts hard drive in Read-Only mode

    Good luck!
