I found the instructions inside of the linux-wlan-ng package far more useful. I'd also recommend getting hold of a copy of airsnort from sourceforge. > > There is one caveat however.

Actually, there are a couple more than that. To get around the one above, when it asks for the directory, type /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/build The second is that you will need to mkdir a directory for the build process. When the compile fails, you will see where the directory being looked for should be (from memory /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/build/. tmp_make - it's certainly something like that) The third is only to compile the module you need. If you're using a USB dongle, only bother with the usb module - you don't need the rest. The fourth is to not bother with using neat, ifup or any other type of config - they won't work as expected (they were telling me all sorts of garbage yesterday). You should only start or restart the dongle using / etc/init.d/wlan start|stop|restart and then connect by hand (okay this last way may be down to my system using rawhide) Other than that, it's fine with the MA111 Prism2 dongle. > Thank you for your answer i hope this will help me when i will have my > dongle.

Install the kernel-sourcecode from yum and you'll be fine. TTFN Paul -- "If I face my God tomorrow, I can tell Him I am innocent. I've never harmed anyone. I have cheated no one.
