I recently picked up a few evaluation 200mW Prism2.5 cards from Taipei. One has an integrated antenna, while the other has dual MMCX connectors (like Cisco/Aironet cards). I just noticed they have very different firmware versions; of course the external one I'd prefer to use for WiLDing is older. Out of curiosity, is their a minimum station firmware rev that supports monitor mode without spazing out? dstrumbler seems to get cranky with this one: wi0: 802.11 address: 00:xx:xx:01:64:a5 wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3873 wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.00.04, Station 1.00.03 wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0002; event status 0x8000 wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0000; event status 0x8000 wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. wi0: init failed wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc07/0; last status 8002 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc81/0; last status 8002 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc00/0; last status 8002 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc83/0; last status 8002 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc84/0; last status 8002 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc06/0; last status 8002 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc09/0; last status 8002 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc0c/0; last status 8002 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc2d/0; last status 8002 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc04/0; last status 8002 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc02/0; last status 8002 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc03/0; last status 8002 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc0e/0; last status 8002 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc2a/0; last status 8002 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc01/0; last status 8002 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc28/0; last status 8002 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc23/0; last status 8002 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc24/0; last status ffff wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc85/0; last status ffff wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc80/0; last status ffff wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. wi0: failed to allocate 1594 bytes on NIC wi0: tx buffer allocation failed wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. wi0: failed to allocate 1594 bytes on NIC wi0: mgmt. buffer allocation failed wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc80/0; last status ffff wi0: detached The more "modern" one works fine... wi0: 802.11 address: 00:xx:xx:01:64:30 wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3873 wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.00.07, Station 1.03.06 -- Matt Peterson another.geek.without.a.life [email protected] http://matt.peterson.org/ -------------------------------------------------
