CONFIG_IPW2200_PROMISCUOUS: Enable creation of a RF radiotap promiscuous interface

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_IPW2200_PROMISCUOUS has multiple definitions:

Enable creation of a RF radiotap promiscuous interface found in drivers/net/wireless/intel/ipw2x00/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_IPW2200_PROMISCUOUS:

• prompt: Enable creation of a RF radiotap promiscuous interface
• type: bool
• depends on: CONFIG_IPW2200_MONITOR
• defined in drivers/net/wireless/intel/ipw2x00/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 4.5–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.12, 6.13-rc+HEAD

Help text

Enables the creation of a second interface prefixed 'rtap'. This second interface will provide every received in radiotap format.

This is useful for performing wireless network analysis while maintaining an active association.

Example usage:

% modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1 % ifconfig rtap0 up % tethereal -i rtap0

If you do not specify 'rtap_iface=1' as a module parameter then the rtap interface will not be created and you will need to turn it on via sysfs:

% echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_iface
