Hi,

well cisco cards are supported, but you have to take care of different stuff.

First of all you need to have a linux driver supported firmware version.
It has to be one up to version 4.25. All higher versions are not working
in linux. You can download firmware on cisco site.

Second. Airsnort is working on cisco cards, you did it right, just select others. But, you missed something, you need to bring your card into monitoring
mode manually.

There are two ways to do it. Either start kismet in parallel
or you do it manually which is well documented in google.

Fire up kismet and then airsnort, but kismet is enough for your need anyway.

greetings

Max

ok, I've tried the auditor bootable cd, it works great on my vaio laptop. I shut down the centrino wireless card, and inserted my cisco aironet 350. During the boot, the cd recognizes the cisco card as "airo_cs", and I can
run kismet without a problem.
I've also tried airsnort, but I cannot manage to make it work. If I simply select eth0 and other as driver, and press start, it returns me an error about the monitor mode unset. So I open a shell and run "iwconfig eth0 mode monitor", and retry. Airsnort does not give any error, but it cannot see my home wlan (40bit wep), while kismet sees it. Also, monitor mode command in the shell goes on running until I hit ctrl+C, and in the same time airsnort
gives me the error about monitor mode.
What's the problem? Is airsnort able to use a cisco card? Is the "other"
driver correct?
Thanks in advance,
Luca Dell'Oca.
