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.
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
thorn root # iwpriv eth2
eth2 Available private ioctl :
force_reset (8BE0) : set 0 & get 0
card_reset (8BE1) : set 0 & get 0
set_port3 (8BE2) : set 1 int & get 0
get_port3 (8BE3) : set 0 & get 1 int
set_preamble (8BE4) : set 1 int & get 0
get_preamble (8BE5) : set 0 & get 1 int
set_ibssport (8BE6) : set 1 int & get 0
get_ibssport (8BE7) : set 0 & get 1 int
get_rid (8BE9) : set 0 & get 1024 byte
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,
Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v16.
If I remember correctly, these versions should be compatible, right?
Thanks,
Mathis
