Help with recompiling Kernel with Orinoco Patched Monitor Mode Drivers. Please Help
Im currently using SUSE PRO 9.1 and really want to get some wireless programs working.
I have an Orinoco wireless gold card and using the default Orinoco driver It works fine on my Network and I can get on the Internet, etc.
However, I need it to be patched to mointor mode as I dont think it is.
I went on Kismet's website, and downloaded the "orinoco-0.13e-rfmon-dragorn3.diff" driver update.
I found out I had to install the Kernel sources before I could do the update, so I used Yast2 to install them.
I checked my "usr/src/" directoy and I saw that a new folder with the kernel name had been created.
After following some instructions, I went to the "/usr/src/linux/2.6.4-52/drivers/net/wireless/" directory.
I opened a terminal and applied the following command:
"patch -p1 < /home/abaugh/orinoco-0.13e-rfmon-dragorn3.diff"
After doing this, I get the following message:
patching file hermes.c
Reversed (or previosuly applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n]
I follow this through, using "-R" and "Y" to confirm, at this point im guessing by the way.
After that the kismet guide tells me I need to do a:
make modules
make modules_install
None of these commands work in the terminal.
Because it says something about a patch applied, I thought suse 9.1 pro might of already come with monitor mode patched drivers.
To test this I opened a terminal and typed, "iwpriv eth1"
I get an incorrect command. IWPREV doesnt even work.
Can anyone help, I wish Linux was abit easyer to get into as I really like the look of this system and just want to get some use out of it. Just so I have a reason to use it over Windows !
At this point I just want the patched drivers with Suse working, nothing more.
I tried to give as much info as possible so It would help.
Thank You
