Hi,

First, make sure that the wireless tools is installed on your system (sudo
apt-get install wireless-tools), then if you have the interface wlan0, you
could try the following:

- sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
- sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
- sudo iwconfig wlan0 channel x
- sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid ......
- sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

If you have the interface ath, you could try the steps mentioned in my
previous e-mail.

Hope this helps...
