Yesterday i bouth a second hand laptop who i called cacamobil because is a supratech 12″ :)
Now i going to explain how optain drivers with monitor mode :) very interesting if you are try to have internet in your own house but paied by your neighbor hehehe
for default installing Debian etch (testing yet) you have a kernel with ipw2200 working but… yes always a but written after say Debian etch… that module not work in monitor mode.
Now… follow that steps and you can have monitor mode without compile again your kernel.
First Step: Download headers:
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
In mi laptop i have 2.6.15-1-486 (so i think default install)
Now: download apropiated sources to some diretory ( /tmp/ )
Firmware for pci wireless version 3.0
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php?fid=7
ieee80211-1.2.15
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ieee80211/ieee80211-1.2.15.tgz
ipw2200-1.1.4
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ipw2200/ipw2200-1.1.4.tgz
Installing and compilling :) (yes.. as root!)
tar -xvzf /tmp/ipw2200-fw-3.0.tgz
cp /tmp/ipw2200-fw-3.0/ipw2* /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/sometime is necesary copy on /lib/firmware/ (i don’t know why)
tar -xvzf /tmp/ieee80211-1.2.15.tgz
cd /tmp/ieee80211-1.2.15/
sh remove-old (for remove old module)tar -xvzf /tmp/ipw2200-1.1.4.tgz
cd /tmp/ipw2200-1.1.4/
sh remove-old (remove old module too)say y when ask to delete modules and y when ask to comment some lines at .conf
vi /tmp/ipw2200-1.1.4/Makefile get a similar lines:
# ifndef CONFIG_IPW2200 (coment that line)
EXTERNAL_BUILD=y
CONFIG_IPW2200=m
CONFIG_IPW_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_IPW_MONITOR=y
CONFIG_IPW_QOS=y
# endif (coment too)cd /tmp/iieee80211-1.2.15/
make
make installcd /tmp/ipw2200-1.1.4/
make
make install
now reboot your laptop
iwconfig eth1 mode monitor
;)
i had the problem when compile the module (make) because had installed the gcc-4.1 and i need gcc-4.0, you can see that error doing
dmesg | grep ipw
the solution is install gcc-4.0 apt-get install gcc-4.0 and rename symbolic link
… and yes… make all again :(

smooth!!!
Intenté usar el module helper (o como se llame ) del debian y casi acabo a patadas con el ordenador.
Eres mi héroe!!!
