    isl3886

    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.
