Some devices have separate driver packages (for example, r8168 and broadcom-wl). The preceding unsigned comment was added by 666threesixes666 ( talk 20130507) driver altered to build on Linux kernel version > 3. i know of several broadcom drivers and let aircrack determine what i have installed for me. i seen broadcom-sta has monitor mode chopped out on purpose, though im not sure if its firmware or not. ill let a more experienced wiki poster research & determine if that is correct or not. I just changed it to 'aircrack-ng ready' though i think thats inappropriate, & ad-hoc + mon + AP modes would be more appropriate. When adding a new section (at the bottom of the page), please mark it as 'open for discussion' by using so it will show up in the list of open discussions.
Monitor mode is not supported on the wlan0 interface, but according to the documentation, this should enable a prism0 interface with monitoring capabilities: echo 1 >/proc/brcmmonitor0 The moment I write 1 to that file, however, my system freezes completely.
This card is not supported by the b43 driver. Please add newer comments below older ones, and sign your comments using four tildes ( ~~~~). Im using the broadcom-sta wl driver, manually upgraded to the latest version.
