Hello, I want to put my nic
Intersil Corporation ISL3886 [Prism Javelin/Prism Xbow]
in ad-hoc and monitor mode.
monitor mode works:
Code:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g Mode:Monitor Frequency:2.412 GHz Tx-Power=27 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2346 B
Encryption key:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
But when I try to put it in ad-hoc mode, it gives me an error.
Code:
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
iwconfig wlan0 channel 4
iwconfig wlan0 essid 'Linux'
iwconfig wlan0 key 1234567890
ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not supported
I searched around to check if ad-hoc is possible with that card and found this site. You can see there, it is possible to put him in ad-hoc,monitor mode and even injection.
On that page you can download a driver but I already have that driver: /lib/firmware/2.6.24-23-server/isl3886
I even did a md5sum of those 2 and they are the same.
I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 server.
