Hi all,

 

I have on the board the AP6181 Wirelesss (brcmfmac_sdio).

 

I try use like AP and works, but isnt work Karma, mana and monitoring....

Somebody know some patch or driver to make this work? Or i need to find an ARM board with atheros or ralink??

 

Because i never find one!!

 

Thanks

I was just reading (not related?) http://forum.lemaker.org/thread-11442-1-1.html

 

if you mean "iw list" details, I have a pair of realtek 8812AU and they are working but no details available "easily"

Hi,

 

In the website of https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers, i can see that the driver brcmfmac of AP6181 support this:

 

 

And suppor this hardware:

 

 

But if i install the driver firmware-brcm80211 i can´t use monitoring mode:

 

Here the Chip of AP6181 in wlan0:

 

 

 

I try to start it:

 

 

 

And here the info of iw list... and yeah, i dont see monitoring in interface modes, but the driver would be let me monitoring... true?

 

 

Thanks for help

 

P.D. Can i change the tittle of this post:

to

as topic owner you can edit your topic title... but ok I have updated it as you wanted

1/

the brcmfmac of AP6181 says cfg80211/AP/IBSS

2/

"iw list" says "IBSS/managed/AP", no monitoring!

so?

I am not a wifi/kernel expert but I guess it is not registered in "iw list" don't expect monitoring to work.

Please, just tell me what do you call "Karma" and "Mana" in wifi context? nothing related to video games and role playing games

Hi @wildcat_paris,

 

I search for you that info and i discover that i need that the card support master mode...

 

HostAPD MANA: https://github.com/sensepost/hostapd-mana

 

Need to work:

You'll need a wifi card that supports master mode. You can check whether it does by running: iw list You want to see "AP" in the output. Something like:

Supported interface modes:

* IBSS

* managed

* AP

* AP/VLAN

* monitor

* mesh point

 

So i cant... sorry when i search info for posting what is it i see that specifications... anyway, it's possible in the future get this features changing the driver? or is a hardware limitation? Because some chipset wireless you must to patch to inject or monitoring.
