Hi,

I am trying to setup mesh networking using atheros network adapters...

I have done modprob zd1211rw - the driver necessary for mesh networking, it also shows while I do lsmod | grep zd1211...

m using Fedora17,

and I try to configure first my card into mesh networking mode but every time I fire the command

iw phy phy0 interface add moni0 type monitor

I get an error

command failed: Operation not permitted (-1)

When I do iw list it shows...

Supported interface modes:

IBSS
Managed
AP
AP/VLAN
monitor
mesh point

Thanks...

You have to put sudo in front of the command.


sudo iw phy phy0 interface add moni0 type monitor

Thanks for the post, but did you look at the date?? This had been closed for *TEN YEARS*...I think the OP has moved on.
