Introduction

The purpose of this document is to describe the exact steps for installing the Orinoco Driver patch and Airsnort RPM on a system running Mandrake Linux 9.2.

Hardware

The following hardware was used for this installation.

Lucent\Agere mini PCI wireless card installed in a regular size PCI adapter card using a Texas Instruments 1410 chipset for use in a desktop system.
ASUS P4PE-V motherboard with Celeron 1.7 GHZ CPU
To save me grief the onboard Broadcom 4401 ethernet adapter was disabled.

Install Mandrake 9.2

Install a fresh copy of Mandrake 9.2 (you must have all 3 ISO’s)

Download files (download all files to /usr/local/src )

kernel-source-2.4.22-10mdk.i586.rpm

kismet-3.0.1-3mdk.i586.rpm (optional )

1. Install kernel source

Mandrake 9.2 download edition does not include the kernel-source package you must download it.

# rpm –i kernel-source-2.4.22-10mdk.i586.rpm

# rpmdrake

From the rpmdrake GUI

# cd orinoco-0.13e

# make

gzip the wireless driver modules created by make.

# gzip *.o

5. Copy patched Orinoco drivers from /usr/local/src to /lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk/kernel/drivers/net/wireless

# cd /usr/local/src/orinoco-0.13e
