Great! I now get an additional interface: wlan1-wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr <deleted> BROADCAST 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 this the one? Is the name wlan1-wlan0 that I should use to connect? BTW: What is the interface? mon.wlan0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr <deleted> UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:3521 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:585952 (572.2 KiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) On Mon, Jul 4, 2011 at 10:02 PM, Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Monday, July 04, 2011 09:46:46 PM Alex wrote: > >> I am using the carl9170 interface from the 2.6.39.2 kernel with the > >> newest carl9170 firmware.
