patch -Np1 -i ../madwifi-ng-r1886.patch

make

make install

If prompted:

 

If you are installing new MadWifi modules, you should consider removing those

already installed, or else you may experience problems during operation.

Remove old modules?

[l]ist, [r]emove, [i]gnore or e[x]it (l,r,i,[x]) ?

choose 'r' to remove

modprobe ath_pci

Installation is now complete.

 

iwconfig should now confirm the card is installed: wifi0 and ath0 (See madwifi-ng commands)

 

Providing kismet is installed, and configured correctly (See: Kismet Installation guide)

 

Kismet should start by typing: kismet

 

NOTE: ensure kismet.conf is configured correctly 'source=madwifi_b,wifi0,madwifi')

 

 

To set the card into monitor mode use either:

 

airmon-ng start ath0 [channel] from the aircrack-ng suite

 

or

 

ifconfig ath0 down

wlanconfig ath0 destroy

 

wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode monitor from the madwifi commands
