Hi, I wanted to try out packet injection with my ipw3945 card, and was thrilled that there are patches by Andy Green for mac80211 that should make everything that is needed for this possible. So I patched 2.6.23-rc3 with wireless-git's everything branch, but when attemting to inject, Andy's packetspammer (and aireplay -9 from aircrack-ng 1.0-dev) hung. After reporting this to him and several mails I switched on debugging flags, and modprobed iwl3945 with 'debug=0x43fff', ifconfig then oopsed: modprobe iwl3945 debug=0x43fff iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor ifconfig wlan0 up --- OOPS --- (see attachment) When omitting the debug parameter, ifconfig succeeds but the injection tools then hang. SysRq lets me reboot the system, as you can see in the syslog excerpt I provided. I attached the .config I am using, the system in question is a Dell Inspiron 9400, running Gentoo Linux. Before attempting any of this, all unused processes were killed, leaving only udev, metalog and vixie-cron. And yes, I know it says the kernel is tainted, because of the nvidia module. Say so and I'll try again without it, but quite frankly, I don't think that makes a difference... uname -a: Linux doppelhertz 2.6.23-rc3 #2 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 29 03:06:47 CEST 2007 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7200 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux Thanks in advance for your help, Robert -- post tenebras lux, post fenestras tux ------------------------------------- ICQ: 128315405 MSN: dummy0001@xxxxxxx Jabber: fuerob@xxxxxxxxx
