If you *disable* hw > crypto I won't even be able to read your actual traffic :) Thanks Johannes, I tried to build iw, but got an error: # make CC iw.o /bin/sh: cgcc: not found make[1]: *** [iw.o] Error 127 make: *** [check] Error 2 After poking around, I found http://ftp.idilis.ro/mirrors/ftp.kernel.org/pub/software/devel/sparse/news.html which seems to be where I can find the tool. I compiled, and (after setting $HOME to /usr) installed it. Now, when I try to compile iw, I get: # make CC iw.o iw.c:9:11: error: unable to open 'netlink/genl/genl.h' iw.c:9:31: error: netlink/genl/genl.h: No such file or directory iw.c:10:33: error: netlink/genl/family.h: No such file or directory iw.c:11:33: error: netlink/genl/ctrl.h: No such file or directory iw.c:12:25: error: netlink/msg.h: No such file or directory iw.c:13:26: error: netlink/attr.h: No such file or directory iw.c: In function 'nl80211_init': iw.c:23: error: implicit declaration of function 'nl_handle_alloc' iw.c:23: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast iw.c:29: error: implicit declaration of function 'genl_connect' iw.c:35: error: implicit declaration of function 'genl_ctrl_alloc_cache' iw.c:35: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast iw.c:42: error: implicit declaration of function 'genl_ctrl_search_by_name' iw.c:42: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast iw.c:52: error: implicit declaration of function 'nl_cache_free' iw.c:54: error: implicit declaration of function 'nl_handle_destroy' iw.c: In function 'nl80211_cleanup': iw.c:60: error: implicit declaration of function 'genl_family_put' iw.c: In function 'get_phy_or_dev': iw.c:83: error: implicit declaration of function 'strcmp' make[1]: *** [iw.o] Error 1 Help?
