This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enig5C34F55FE8D775AE43C20C65 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit My card is the netgear WG511U First, I can't get the card to hop channels in kismet. There was a similar posting to this list a few months ago, but the author retracted it. I get these warnings when starting the server: WARNING: pcap reports link type of EN10MB but we'll fake it on BSD. This may not work the way we want it to. WARNING: Some Free- and Net- BSD drivers do not report rfmon packets correctly. Kismet will probably not run correctly. For better support, you should upgrade to a version of *BSD with Radiotap. If I press L in the client, I get: server does not have channel hopping enabled Second, according to CVS, hw.ath.outdoors was made tunable a year ago, but sysctl says it's readonly when I try to change it. It's stuck at 1, which seems to be a possible explanation for why it's indoor use sucks so badly compared to the windows driver, especially through walls. Third, the operation sucks compared to the windows driver, especially through walls. If there's a wall between me and the AP, it won't associate. If it's already associated, and I move past a wall, it stays associated, but won't transfer traffic. Neither of these problems exists with the windows driver. Last, dstumbler doesn't work. It complains, something about ioctl. I don't feel like booting the laptop to get the exact messate at the moment, but I will later. Any ideas on anything? Thanks, sorry for the long message. --------------enig5C34F55FE8D775AE43C20C65 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFB7R/amcXjc1XBrAQRAo2CAJ9iv+C5YjTQvDXdnDH/2mT1RIoecgCfXt2G goqyBTWxs7kpzr3GpvzugB0= =aomw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig5C34F55FE8D775AE43C20C65--
