I have been trying to get my cisco 350 pci card to go into monitor mode. I have checked google and have had no luck. Is it possible to get this card in monitor mode. I can get it into monitor mode on windows but i prefer to use knoppix. If anyone could please help me I would be so grateful.
I've been screwing with this (it seems) for like a year...
Finally got it (for AirSnort) to work last night with much searching. Some of this post is blatant plagarism...so if I'm ripping off your earlier work/realizations, well, props to you.
1. Open up a terminal session, su (become root).
2. ifconfig wifi0 down.
3. ifconfig eth0 down (assuming your Cisco is eth0).
4. echo "Mode: r" > /proc/driver/aironet/eth0/Config.
5. echo "Mode: y" > /proc/driver/aironet/eth0/Config.
6. ifconfig eth0 up.
7. ifconfig wifi0 up.
8. Airsnort
9. Change card to "wifi0" and driver to "Other".
That worked for me to get AirSnort running. There is a thread over at NetStumbler's forum about getting Kismet to run with the Cisco card...my procedure here is a modification/bastardization of that post. If you want to see that thread, go over there and search for "kismet Knoppix Cisco 350 monitor mode". You're looking for a thread/post from "muddy mudskippe". Good luck.
