DISCLAIMER: Not working yet - can't get wlan0 into monitor mode (mode not supported)

So I ripped this out of Debian and Ubuntu for armel and included the 'iw' package and the 'wireless-tools' stuff and dumped it all into one bin and one lib directory. Just seems like a fun thing to play with.. don't know how far I can get, maybe a little help from others would be great?!

The package should be unzipped to /mnt/us/extensions. If you get it working, please let me know!

EDIT: So my Kindle uses the ar6003 chip which probably does not have the ability to do this. Still might be fun to play with.

EDIT 2: included nmap just for fun also.

It's the ar6003, yes - and it's coming with fully proprietary drivers. Not likely to work this way, unfortunately. It would make a nice handheld wifi monitor. It can do basic monitoring of available networks, though. But since the driver is proprietary, I doubt there will be a standard API for userland programs to connect to.

Nmap however should work great.

Close.

It is the Amazon/lab126 kernel build that does not have the supporting functions required by Aircrack enabled in the Wifi drivers.

In fact, those are disabled and/or missing in the mainstream Linux kernel as a matter of policy.

Pull an appropriate version of the Aircrack NG kernel, cross-breed the Wifi driver changes with the Amazon/lab126 kernel sources, re-build, ....
etc.
Then it will work.

And the pages linked there-from.

Packet injection is supported for this chip since kernel version 2.6.26

Well that sounds like quite a round-a-bout way of working on it? I don't understand the 'aircrack-ng kernel'? where would I get that? I've seen you make other kernel modules, I assume you have to somehow diff and patch the two sources? just trying to build one module, right? this seems quite over my head! I am running a self-compiled kernel on my laptop right now - thats not the issue. a number of years ago i even built some special modules for my linmodem. i need a bit more hand holding if i attempt this!

I thought they distributed their own version of the kernel source,
but they are only distributing the differences (as patches) to the
mainstream kernel.

You may (or may not) get lucky when you try to apply them to the Amazon modified kernel source.

I am not trying to be difficult - I am simply swamped over here - no time for the things I already have to do.
