Old Orinoco Patch Page

The patches available here have been updated to fix the beacon reception problem discovered by jonp@chem...

Various patches are available here.  It seems I learn something new every day, so I am always tweaking something. Below is a table summarizing the available patches.
 
Driver version PF_NETLINK PF_PACKET
pcmcia-cs-3.1.31 / orinoco_cs-0.08 orinoco-08-1.diff place the card in monitor mode with:
wlanctl-ng eth0 lnxreq_wlansniff channel=X enable=true
or by using the orinocoSniff.c utility.  The wlanctl command works only if you have the wlan-ng tools varion 0.1.13 or later installed (which you may not since you have an Orinoco card)
 N/A
pcmcia-cs-3.1.33 / orinoco_cs-0.09b
wlan-ng NOT required for these two patches.
orinoco-09b-2.diff place the card in monitor mode with: 
iwpriv eth0 monitor m c
where c is the desired channel number and m is one of the following:

0 - disable monitor mode
1 - enable monitor mode with Prism2 header info prepended to packet 

orinoco-09b-packet-1.diff place the card in monitor mode with: 
iwpriv eth0 monitor m c
where c is the desired channel number and m is one of the following:

0 - disable monitor mode
1 - enable monitor mode with Prism2 header info prepended to packet (ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM).
2 - enable monitor mode with no Prism2 info (ARPHRD_IEEE80211)

General Information
