[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] wlan monitor mode

[From: Médéric RIBREUX]

Hello,

I tried it and tcpdump works ! iwconfig do not return the true
configuration of the device... not really a problem.

Then I compile airodump (from aircrack tools) but it is not able to
capture IVs. Furthermore, after a airodump launch, it seems that the
wlan0 interface is not working at all: iwconfig returns that the
interface is not responding and a tcpdump shows nothing.

Thanks...
