Hi All,

Compiled and got 2.4.18 working.

Compiled and got pcmcia-cs-3.1.34 working.

Tried to patch it with with the snax monitor mode patch, but got an error in
orinoco.c.

Edited config, wireless.opts, ifcfg-eth1, etc. as per the docs.

Now I have the following:

1)

[root at localhost root]# ifconfig eth1
eth1      Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr
00-02-2D-52-CE-7D-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

          RX bytes:14348 (14.0 Kb)  TX bytes:9904 (9.6 Kb)

2)

[root at localhost root]# iwconfig eth1
Warning : Device eth1 has been compiled with version 12
of Wireless Extension, while we are using version 11.
Some things may be broken...

3)

[root at localhost root]# tail /var/log/messages

4)

dmesg has many of the same lines:

eth1: Undersized frame received (12 bytes)

5)

Trying to set the channel, I get:

[root at localhost network-scripts]# iwconfig eth1 channel 1
SIOCSIWFREQ: Operation not supported

What am I missing?

Thanks,
