How to patch orinoco wireless driver
I have an IBM laptop with Fedora Core 1 installed. My Netgear MA401 card is now working. I am pretty sure the Orinoco_cs drivers are being used. I can surf the web via the wireless link.
I would now like to know how to patch the driver or whatever needs to be done so I can set the card in monitor mode. I'm really not sure what else to put in here, this is really what I want to do. |
there is info on how to patch orinoco drivers here, or IIRC get the patched drivers:

that is wierd that depmod is not found, it should be installed, try
whereis depmod should be in /sbin/depmod also you put the diff file in the driver directory, though i may be lost on this. |
