Hi Julien, Thanks so much for the pointers. I back ported the patch at http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=89f927af7f3389e20c8ad24abfb3d1369f3ffc10 to the 3.12 kernel. Now able to set the tx99 mode and configure the moni0 interface. But I am not seeing any activity through the interface moni0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-0E-8E-45-02-DD-10-0B-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Is there any test firmware to be placed at /lib/firmware/ ?
