Bug#358617: linux-image-2.6.16-1-686: please enable CONFIG_IPW2200_MONITOR=y
Package: linux-image-2.6.16-1-686
Version: 2.6.16-2
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
the ipw2200 module in the kernel doesn't have the monitor mode enabled.
It should be enabled like the one for ipw2100 but trying to enable it via
menuconfig on a vanilla .16 kernel doesn't allow this option.
But it is in the code
linux-2.6.16/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200.c
....
#ifdef CONFIG_IPW2200_MONITOR
case IW_MODE_MONITOR:
rc = ipw_get_fw(priv, &ucode,
IPW_FW_NAME("sniffer_ucode"));
....
Is it a upstream bug?
Thank you.
