The firmware is called "orinoco_ezusb_fw". It's loaded by hotplug.
hotplug usually looks in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware, but the path may vary.
It works now perfectly, but only because I compiled the firmware into the
driver.. Had to take a look into the source before. But the firmware was
where it was supposed to.
Maybe your hotplug was too old and didn't have
/etc/hotplug/firmware.agent.
Strangely, monitor mode doesn't work. Some time ago it was changed that it is
handled now via the iwconfig command, right? But neither iwconfig, nor iwpriv
give me the possibility to turn monitoring on:
thorn root # iwconfig eth2 mode monitor
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device eth2 ; Operation not supported
Perhaps you have 8.xx firmware. It doesn't work in monitor mode properly.
There have been several complaints. The patch from the Airsnort site
resets the card, which helps somewhat, but not completely, so I had to
disable monitor mode for 8.xx firmwares.
thorn root # iwconfig --version
iwconfig Version 26
Compatible with Wireless Extension v16 or earlier,
Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v16.
Kernel Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v16.
eth1 Recommend Wireless Extension v14 or later,
Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v16.
eth2 Recommend Wireless Extension v14 or later,

If I remember correctly, these versions should be compatible, right?
If iwconfig finds any compatibility problems, it will warn you in an
unambiguous manner.
