Level - I tried what you suggested and I get
Code:
lo - no private ioctls
eth0 - no private ioctls
eth1 - no private ioctls
... so I presume you are correct. When I load up Airsnort, it simply quits when I select eth0 and other (for the type of card) seeing as wlan-ng and host ap / orinoco and the only other ones listed (which give me the monitopr mode error msg).
