hi, I want to sniff all the packets from the network. I am setting sc->sc_ah->is_monitoring = true; in ath9k_start()
but this gets set to false in in ath9k_config(..). using the flag : IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_MONITOR Both the functions are defined in main.c in compat../drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k I have the following doubts : 1. this flag is not used anywhere and I don't get how should i set "*changed " *so that this flag is set. 2. If I force ah->is_monitoring to true, before this, I am not sure how the driver will behave as other things might go wrong elsewhere 3. When I install the modified driver, the interfaces mon.wlan0, mon.wlan1 are renamed to wlan-00, wlan11 !! the flag is_monitoring flag is set to true on unless I reboot the router. On reboot, its again set to false. Though I had set the changed flag to : changed= changed | IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_MONITOR to set it to true in ath9k_start() function. Please suggest how to set the monitoring mode, programmatically in the driver ? to sniff all packets in the network Abhinav ------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, I have doubt in setting the monitor mode using iwconfig. The usual mode of the device is Master( using iwconfig ) When, I use the following commands : $ifconfig wlan0 down $iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor $ifconfig wlan0 up The router reboots on the last command, and the wlan0 still shows monitor mode(iwconfig output) The browser interface also shows Master mode. A user space ioctl call : ioctl(sd, SIOCSIWMODE, &wrq) gives me an error : DEvice or resource ready. the radio interface is not configure. There is a mon.wlan0, mon.wlan1 (in Monitor mode) interfaces in iwconfig output. Shall i use them to create a raw socket and sniff on it ?
