If you don't have a secondary wireless interface

The solutions we are developing assume that the AP has a secondary wireless interface, just for monitoring purposes. It is called mon1.

If you don't have it, you can create a dummy interface with that name.

For that aim:

  • During the compilation, add the packages kmod-dummy, and also the ip link command. You have detailed information about that in this page of the wiki.

  • Before running Odin, do this in the wireless router: make sure that a dummy0 device exists:

         root@OpenWrt:~# ifconfig -a
    
  • And create the mon1 interface associated to it:

         root@OpenWrt:~# ip link set name mon1 dev dummy0
    

This will associate mon1 with a dummy interface.
