[ath9k-devel] Monitor mode question

[Lenin Ravindranath S]

Hi,

I am new to ath9k. I have a DWA-642 card and I am trying to set it in
monitor mode to inject and receive packets.

I did

iw dev wlan0 interface add fish0 type monitor
ifconfig fish0 up


I have two problems
1. The interface is able to get only packets which has destination address
as a broadcast address (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF) and not every packet in the air.

2. Whatever rate I set in radiotap header to inject packet, the packet goes
out at only 1Mbps. I tried to use both packetspammer and "click router" to
try to inject packets.

Am I missing some flags/settings?

Thanks
Lenin

That's not expected. Maybe you should set the channel as well :
iw dev fish0 set channel 1

Indeed, that's not implemented. There are patches to do it however.

Yes. What kernel are you using?

I am running 2.6.27.37-170.2.104.fc10.i686.

Can you point me to the patch that will enable me to set rates?
Even the b/g rates doesn't seem to work. The packets are sent out at 1Mbps
always.

That much! :-) There has been lots of changes since then. I would advice 
you to try 2.6.32 or compat-wireless.

I should note your ath9k in 2.6.27 is ancient, try stable:
