Search for "kernel panic".;) I agree rfmon in the 3.0 firmware is much better but it works with the 2.4 firmware, too. > > So the ipw220 v 1.0.8 in the kernel is enough. > > no do a better research. It worked for me with 2.6.15 and kismet in sid. Its included in kismet since some time http://kismetwireless.net/CHANGELOG 2005-06-R1 http://www.kismetwireless.net/blog/ IPW2200 updates My conclusion is you are right in 2.6.17 it will be better but I see no reason what would be the problem to enable it in 2.6.16. Its in the kernel/driver and just needs to be enabled. No code change and nothing experimental.:) -- Noèl Köthe <noel debian.org> Debian GNU/Linux, www.debian.org
