Hello, did anybody tried to get kindle 3 into monitor mode? I have tried it to do it by myself - but as i have expected - module is not supporting this operation. The wifi card used there is Atheros ar6000, acording to some messages i have found so far it´s the wifi card used in openmoko. So there should be some open drivers. It would be nice to run kismet on kindle...

btw: I failed to manually modprobe wifi - "modprobe ar6000" has no effect at iwconfig nor ifconfig at all... The results may be different if you manage to modprobe it manually because if it´s done automatically then "ifconfig wlan0 down" has no effect at all... (strange for me). I have noticed that there is script for running wifi at /opt/ar6k/host/support ... from the file /opt/ar6k/target/AR6002 we can see that wifi is actually not ar6000 but ar6002... That´s all I know about it.
