aireplay-ng ioctl failed on ipw2200

[junkmonk]

First, yes. I am a total newbie. BUT, I read the wiki for aircrack and the ipw2200. I am stuck.

I am attempting to figure out how aircrack works. I am using an ipw2200 chipset, native to my Dell laptop.

I start airmon-ng using:
airmon-ng start eth0 1

I get a message indicating monitor mode is enabled on eth0

ifconfig indicates frequency 2.412, which should be right. But, when I try:
aireplay-ng --test -i CDC eth0

I get a message:
Interface CDC:
ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX) failed: No such device

What device is not being seen? I am simply confused.

PS. I am using BT3 Beta.

THANKS!!

First, you will need to learn more about these tools because driver ipw2200 only supports arpreplay,chopchop and interactive attacks only.
airodump-ng
aireplay-ng
aircrack-ng

The ipw2200 is powerful, but it is not ready out of the box.
Setup an interface that will serve as your monitoring interface:
rmmod ipw2200
modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1
ifconfig rtap0 up

I found wifislax works smoothly for a chopchop w/o clients using ipw2200
