My question pertains to Airodump. When starting Airodump it asks me if
I have either "HermesI/Realtek" or "Aironet/Atheros" interface type.
Hermes is the chipset used in the Orinoco Classic cards.
Realtek is the name of a manufacturer in Taiwan that makes wireless
chips.
Aironet is the name of the company that Cisco purchased that
eventually became the 340 and 350 series client adapters.
Atheros is a manufacturer of chips.
Are there only two and whats the difference? Airodump works fine for me
I was just curious.
No. I vaguely recall posting a list of chipset manufacturers a while
back.... digging.... Googling... foundit. I made a few corrections
below:
ADMTek
Agere (Lucent)
Airgo
Aironet
Atheros
Atmel
Broadcom
InProComm
Intel (Centrino)
Intersil/Frisbee
IPW (Intel)
Javelin
Marvel
NWN (3com)
Orinoco
Philips (Centrino)
Prism (Harris/Intersil/etc)
Ralink
Realtek
Symbol
Texas Instruments
Zydas
Some drivel:
- Intel 2100 series Centrino uses wireless chips from Philips.
- IPW is Intel ProSet Wireless starting with 2200.
- Orinocco is actually a mess of manufacturers (in order) from:
Wavelan, Orinoco, Lucent, Agere, Avaya, and Proxim which use Prism
chipsets from Harris, Intersil, Conexant, Frisbee, and Javelin.
- Symbol uses various chip foundries.
- NWN is "No Wires Needed" in Netherlands. I think (not sure) they're
now part of Alvarion/Breezecom.
- Aironet is owned by Cisco.
