Nexmon support for patched native monitor mode on the RPi3? #4

Open vitorio opened 7 years ago

Has anyone tried the Nexmon patch that enables monitor mode on the RPi3's built-in wireless adapter? https://github.com/seemoo-lab/nexmon

If it worked, and you had Ethernet everywhere your RPis were, you wouldn't need an additional wifi dongle.

It looks promising! There is one caveat maybe though: they say "is not possible to connect to an access point anymore using our modified driver and firmware", which means that their would have to be some other sort of communication to a hub or something in order to send the fingerprints to the server.

Maybe a better alternative would be to use a C.H.I.P. computer which also has built-in Wi-Fi that seems to support monitor mode. I will be testing this out later next week actually.

I try to use a rpi3 with a modified driver to support monitor mode. The problem is that it tries to connect to an access point instead of using the ethernet connection to send the fingerprints : can you add a parameter to use lan instead of wlan ?
