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

[From: Collin R. Mulliner]

Hi,

I have dsniff and friends working ok, I don't know why airodump doesn't
work since it should also only require pcap. 

Also my device seems to suck up battery quite fast during monitor mode.

Why doesn't iwconfig "work" noramlly while the device is in monitor
mode?

Collin

PS: dsniff is in the wiki and http://mulliner.org/nokia770/

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats
