Not in RFMON mode??? HELP!


I have SuSE 9 with Cisco aironet 340 wireless card. But I can't set wireless card into monitoring mode.

I used command:
echo 'Mode: rfmon' > /proc/driver/aironet/eth1/Config
echo 'Mode: r' > /proc/driver/aironet/eth1/Config
echo 'Mode: y' > /proc/driver/aironet/eth1/Config

From the conf file, the mode is:
yna (any) bss rfmon

but when I run kismet for example, I was told that the card in not in rfmon mode:

FATAL: pcap reported netlink type 1 (EN10MB) for eth1. This probably means you're not in RFMON mode or your drivers are reporting a bad value. Make sure you have the correct drivers and that entering monitor mode succeeded.




please help!
