Description Dirk Mueller 2005-12-05 13:25:18 UTC
kismet and friends (iwconfig mode monitor) fail now with either EINV or
"ioctls 7:Argument list too long"

If you want you have a monitor interface with madwifi, you need to create one. The default interface we create is only for station mode use. See 'wlanconfig --help'. This won't help with kismet though, because there is no kismet release containing madwifi-ng support yet (only in CVS). I'll reassign the bug to the kismet maintainer.
