They do support monitor mode, it was just that the option to enable it was not present. The latest gentoo-sources and 2.6.17 allow you to enable it. Yes firmware 2.4 was buggy with the monitor mode, but that doesn't matter for normal operation. Also in my experience the bugginess was nothing more than dmesg filling up with firmware restarting messages, otherwise it all seemed to work perfectly fine. -- Raymond Lewis Rebbeck -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
