Alright my head is spinning

macd3v@macd3v-laptop:~$ iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

macd3v@macd3v-laptop:~$ lspci | grep Network
05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)

Im trying to get this bitch into monitor mode lol

macd3v@macd3v-laptop:~$ iwconfig eth1 mode monitor
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not permitted.

Does anyone have a solution for this or am i one of those unlucky bastards with a card that is just simply not compatible. I've seen that there are work arounds for most of them and it says that there is for this one but i dunno if i did it wrong or if i read the wrong info or what but this is breaking my balls

1. Do you have the proper drivers? (Either linux ones or ndiswrapped windows)
2. Make sure you are root (use su or something)
3. googlegooglegoogle :)

I'm no linux pro, but I hope I helped :)

[MaXe]

It's the same I would recommend Norph :-)

[macd3v]

zomg! sudo -i cause i hate having to type it in all the time
and i don't if i have the right drive its the broadcom sta one
im not a linux master either and i googled the **** outta of
it for like 3 - 4 hours then made the post im not one of those
people who just posts help threads without trying it myself
first and researching it

[removed by the staff - contained inappropriate language, sorry macd3v]

[MaXe]

If you can't find the right drivers for your broadcom wifu card then you
need to use the ndiswrapper to install the windows drivers macd3v :-)

[macd3v]

remember my card doesn't work on windows lol
it sees the ssid but when i try to connect tells me
its out of range and to refresh even if im sitting right
beside the router but it works in linux go figure with
the sta driver

no worries about the edit it was all extra venting :P
frustration

[Tsukasa]

Check your inbox hit me up on msger i'll help ya get it working

[MaXe]

Hey macd3v, I just re-read your thread and I have exactly the same problem! xD

My card doesn't support monitor mode either so I had to use an external WiFu adapter I think x)

lspci -vnn | grep 14e4
what pci id does it give you?

certain pci id's work and others don't

if i remember right 14e4:4312 works but 4315 doesn't

you can look into ndiswrapper and wl and see if they added support for them yet.

its been a while since I checked it out but I also assume broadcom's drivers are still close and they didn't release them

[MaXe]

Broadcom's drivers are non-open source, they're way behind some of the other manufacturers :-)

At least that's how it was and might still be.
