Apps :: Airsnort



Airsnort  

I have this: DSL2.2

on this: Thinkpad t22

with this: ath0  (orinoco gold)

Loaded this: GTK-0705.dsl

Then "update_to_GTK2" from mydsl menu

from the command line:  sudo ifconfig ath0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

Next I loaded this: airsnort-0.1.1.dsl

Did this on the command line:  wlanctl-ng ath0 lnxreq_wlansniff|enable=true  
(lots of guessing/trial and error here, did I get it right?)

Then launched this from command line: airsnort  (also tried:  sudo airsnort)

Switched the preferences in airsnort to this:
network device: ath0
is orinoco?: checked

Finally, in airsnort pressed 'start' and got this: Could not set promiscuous mode    (and nothing happens).

Close airsnort and on the command line it says: Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library

I've tried several variations of the above (e.g. without installing and updating gtk2, without the wlanctl-ng stuff).

Any ideas??

note: wireless works fine, I've connected to my home network several times with no problems (the beauty of Orinoco)

***edit UPDATE
Just downloaded airsnort-gtk2-0.2.7.dsl
I loaded gtk0705.dsl first then airsnort and ran airsnort from command line, using the wlanctl-ng driver option I get the following:

prismheader=false > /dev/null
wlanctl-ng: Invalid argument
/sbin/wlanctl-ng ath0 lnxreq_wlansniff enable=true channel=10 keepwepflags=false prismheader=false > /dev/null
wlanctl-ng: Invalid argument
/sbin/wlanctl-ng ath0 lnxreq_wlansniff enable=true channel=11 keepwepflags=false prismheader=false > /dev/null
wlanctl-ng: Invalid argument
/sbin/wlanctl-ng ath0 lnxreq_wlansniff enable=true channel=1 keepwepflags=false prismheader=false > /dev/null
wlanctl-ng: Invalid argument
/sbin/wlanctl-ng ath0 lnxreq_wlansniff enable=true channel=2 keepwepflags=false prismheader=false > /dev/null
wlanctl-ng: Invalid argument
/sbin/wlanctl-ng ath0 lnxreq_wlansniff enable=true channel=3 keepwepflags=false prismheader=false > /dev/null
wlanctl-ng: Invalid argument

on and on and on.

When I try the ap/orinoco driver type, nothing happens.
Anyone?????? I realize I posted this in the wrong apps form (should have been in the .dsl apps form).

How can I figure out the version/driver my card is or using? What is a 'cs driver' for my orinoco, and do i need to patch it? I think i do because it doesn't seem to have 'monitor mode' support/capabilities. Is that something that's not included in DSL? is it my card... my driver...???  

Someone.... Please..... through me a bone. At this point anything would help.
