Always a probleme with the monitor mode

[solo <patriceperetti@wanadoo.fr>]

Hi,

I am a young network administrator and i need you help. I have a
wireless network to test on my bussiness and for that reason i bought
the orinoco gold card (monitor mode and a good price).
I have a Toshiba Laptop 2450 and a kernel 2.6.14.

Linux Seth 2.6.14 #1 SMP Fri Jan 20 11:34:25 CET 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

I use the orinoco driver 0.15RC2 and i suppose the monitor patch is
include on it.
This is the resul of dmesg | grep orinoco
orinoco 0.15rc2 (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au>, Pavel
Roskin <proski@gnu.org>, et al)
orinoco_cs 0.15rc2 (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au>, Pavel
Roskin <proski@gnu.org>, et al)

I thought it was a good beginning but i ve made a mistake.

This is the result of lsmod :

Module                  Size  Used by
snd_pcm_oss            56864  0
snd_mixer_oss          22912  4 snd_pcm_oss

pcmcia                 44588  5 orinoco_cs
joydev                 13760  0
parport_pc             45380  0
parport                41288  1 parport_pc
yenta_socket           31116  6

pcmcia_core            48408  3 pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic

And in conclusion this is teh result of iwconfig :

eth1      IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:"My_Network"  Nickname:"Seth"
          Mode:Managed  Bit Rate:11 Mb/s
          RTS thr:off

          Link Quality:0  Signal level:134  Noise level:134
          Rx invalid nwid:0  invalid crypt:0  invalid misc:0

The ifconfig eth1 said me that :

eth1      Lien encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:02:2D:38:5B:F6
          inet adr:192.168.1.12  Bcast:192.168.1.255

          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Interruption:3 Adresse de base:0xc100


But the result of this command : airmon start eth1 is 
eth1            HermesI         orinocoSIOCSIFFLAGS: Périphérique ou
ressource occupé
 (monitor mode enabled)

And when i launch kismet , ive got that :
Server options:  none
Client options:  none
Starting server...
Waiting for server to start before starting UI...
Suid priv-dropping disabled.  This may not be secure.
No specific sources given to be enabled, all will be enabled.
Enabling channel hopping.
Enabling channel splitting.
Source 0 (HermesI): Enabling monitor mode for orinoco source interface
eth1 channel 10...
FATAL: channel get ioctl failed 16:Device or resource busy

And in conclusion the result of iwpriv is:


eth1      Available private ioctls :
          force_reset      (8BE0) : set   0       & get   0
          card_reset       (8BE1) : set   0       & get   0
          set_port3        (8BE2) : set   1 int   & get   0
          get_port3        (8BE3) : set   0       & get   1 int
          set_preamble     (8BE4) : set   1 int   & get   0
          get_preamble     (8BE5) : set   0       & get   1 int
          set_ibssport     (8BE6) : set   1 int   & get   0
          get_ibssport     (8BE7) : set   0       & get   1 int
          get_rid          (8BE9) : set   0       & get 1024 byte

Did somebody encounter the problem ?? Could you help me to find a
solution to this problem ? When i used Whax distrib , it is ok : the
card is on and kismet is ok ?
Please help me to solve it ! I prefer to use Debian !!
Thanks for you help !!!
best regards
