["Jeremy Hein" <jeremyh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for responding so quickly.  I wish my problem was that simple and
it probably is, but after I use the echo request, I do a more on the file
and nothing has changed.  Although I can change the modes with iwconfig to
"Repeater, Ad-Hoc, Manager," I cannot change to "Monitor" which I'm guessing
is what I need.  Anyone have any other suggestions?

Jeremy

If the instructions in the Ethereal FAQ:

http://www.ethereal.com/faq.html#q5.24

don't work (the stuff involving sending stuff to
"/proc/driver/aironet/ethN/Config" with the "echo" command), then I have
no idea what the problem is, unless RH 8.0 has an old driver that
doesn't work.
