I was tasked to identify a rouge wireless network at the location of a large site of a particular organisation this week. In order to provide a true audit I ordered some war driving kit, in particular a Compaq WL110 (Orinoco), the necessary pigtail and a YAGI antenna. The software of choice would be Linux Auditor which has an excellent tool kit and runs from CD as one of many variations of KNOPPIX. Getting the card to work was another matter. A quick dmesg would show up a prismII loaded pcmcia driver. However I knew this was based on the Orinoco chipset so I wanted the Orinoco_cs driver. To cut a long story short here’s how to get a Compaq W110 to work with linux auditor

To cut a long story short here’s how to get a Compaq W110 to work with linux auditor cd /etc/pcmcia
cp ./config /tmp
rm config
ln –s /tmp/config open up your favourite editor and change the line that says card “Compaq WL100 11 Mbps Wireless Adapter”
manfid 0×0138, 0×0002
bind “orinoco_cs” and change it to card “Compaq WL110 11 Mbps Wireless Adapter”
manfid 0×0156, 0×0002
bind “orinoco_cs” The next step is to reload the pcmcia daemon: /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart Unplug the card and pop it back in and you should have a fully working Orinoco card. What were doing here is basically modifying the WL100 config to reflect that of a WL110. You could make this an addition if you so wished.
