Hello, trying to do a fakeAP in backtrack2 live cd
i ran
perl /pentest/wireless/fakeap-0.3.2/fakeap.pl --interface wlan0 --channel 1 --essid TEST
it starts going ok, but then it says....
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A):
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not permitted

FakeAP.pl, hasn't really got a forum for me to ask in, can I get help here?
Thanks

Based on the fakeAP page, I'd say that is your problem...the program does not support your card.
