AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01) Subsystem: PROXIM Inc Device 0a10 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 11 Memory at 44000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 Kernel driver in use: ath_pci Kernel modules: ath_pci I am using net-wireless/madwifi-ng-0.9.4 When I run airmon-ng it shows my ath0 interface: # airmon-ng Interface Chipset Driver wifi0 Atheros madwifi-ng ath0 Atheros madwifi-ng VAP (parent: wifi0) Running 'airmon-ng start wifi0' it creates a new VAP ath1 and puts it in Monitor mode. So far so good, but running airodump-ng shows no data being captured. Trying to stop ath0 (in case it interferes) shuts down /etc/init.d/net.ath0, although I still get ath1 shown in iwconfig. Have I missed something basic here? Do I need perhaps to add net.ath1 -> /etc/init.d/net.lo in the same way that I have done for ath0? -- Regards, Mick
