Airsnort problem

Hi all!

I hope this message is in the right place. I have been trying to set airsnort for my laptop (FC2/Dell D800) now for a couple of days with no success. I'm using Dell's integrated 54g truemobile 1300 wlan card with ndiswrapper.

I had some problems installing airsnort from sources, so I googled and installed a package airsnort-0.2.4-0.a.1.fc2.dag.i386.rpm witch seems to be working, but when I try to use it, I have no clue what to choose for driver type. There are 3 to choose from. When I pick "wlan-ng", i get an error "could not set monitor mode" and lines:

Code:

sh: line 1: wlanctl-ng: command not found
sh: line 1: ifconfig: command not found
sh: line 1: wlanctl-ng: command not found

"HostAP/Orinoco" option gives the same answer and "Other" option shuts the program and prints segmentation fault.

I guess the problem may be that I'm using ndiswrapper driver, but I've seen some texts that people are succesfully using airsnort with them as well. I also haven't found info about setting ndiswrapper driver to monitor mode.

Can anybody help me with my problem? I'm pretty confused right now. Thank you!

i can say that u r not root or u didnt become root with "su -" command.
become root user with "su -" command then try to install.

i hope it will work.

It seems like the problem was there. Thanks you! Stupid me =)

Another n00b question. How can I set my ndiswrapper Dell TrueMobile 1300 wlan to monitor mode? Or is that even possible? I tried to google with no help.
