Hi all! Having just posted opened a thread about this on the FreeBSD forum=2C I'll = more or less copy/paste that post in this mail. Thread: http://forums.freeb= sd.org/showthread.php?p=3D227470 - - - I have the "Alfa AWUS036h 802.11 b/g Long-Range USB Adapter" connected to m= y laptop which is running a FreeBSD 8.1 installation. The adapter is widely= used for injecting wireless frames=2C which is my objective as well. I have set it up to use the urtw(4) driver (manpage) by loading the module = at boot time. The output of `dmesg | grep urtw` is as follows: urtw0: <vendor 0x0bda product 0x8187=2C class 0/0=2C rev 2.00/1.00=2C addr = 2> on usbus7 urtw0: unknown RTL8187L type: 0x8000000 urtw0: rtl8187l rf rtl8225u hwrev none That looks kinda strange=2C but the adapter works and I am able to successf= ully create a wlan0 interface and connect to my WPA2 secured network. However=2C if I want to create a wlan0 interface (after destroying the prev= ious one) that is usable for packet injection=2C this is what I get. `ifconfig wlan create wlandev urtw0 wlanmode ahdemo` urtw0: AHDEMO mode not supported # <-- this line is colored white as oppose= d to normal gray ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: Operation not supported Is this mode simply not (yet) supported? Cheers=2C Mark / asfdg =
