Re: Orinoco USB + iBook: msg#00027

Subject: Re: Orinoco USB + iBook

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
