The patch against 1.05 ADMTek driver that allows pseudo-monitor mode (the card is not fully passive, it still sends out some data)
adm8211.diff

Instructions:

1. Download admtek driver sources:

   wget http://www.admtek.com.tw/download/nic/adm8211/ADM8211_src_105.tar.gz

   or here
2. Extract sources:

   tar zxvf ADM8211_src_105.tar.gz

3. Change dir:

   cd ADM8211

4. Download my patch to sources directory:

   wget http://www.latinsud.com/adm8211/adm8211.diff

5. Patch the driver

   patch < adm8211.diff

6. Compile:
   If you use kernel 2.6 you'll need this Makefile http://www.mines.edu/students/w/wsimmons/linux/ADM8211_src_105_2.6.tar.gz by Wade Simmons.

   make

7. Insert module:

   insmod -f 8211.o

8. Test:

   ifconfig eth1 up

   . (or whatever ethx you have). Led starts flashing.

   iwconfig eth1 mode monitor

9. To use with kismet (you can use generic driver with kismet 3, or better download march '04 cvs), the line in .../etc/kismet.conf is

   source=admtek,eth1,smc

   Or whatever ethx you have.

DISCLAIMER: This is alfa quality software and no warranty is provided of any kind. Use it at your own risk!

NOTES: Channel hopping now works with kismet!.

Thanks to Mike Kershaw (dragorn), and David Young (for his BSD driver)
