Thread: HP 550 and Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 wireless card not working with Kismet

hi there, have problem kismet. won't load. output:

code:

launching kismet_server: //usr/bin/kismet_server  suid priv-dropping disabled.  may not secure.  no specific sources given enabled, enabled.  non-rfmon vaps destroyed on multi-vap interfaces (ie, madwifi-ng)  enabling channel hopping.  enabling channel splitting.  notice: disabling channel hopping, no enabled sources able change channel.  source 0 (eth0): enabling monitor mode bcm43xx source interface eth0 channel 6...  fatal: mode ioctl failed 95:operation not supported  done.

the source in config file are

code:

source=bcm43xx,eth0,eth0

and here's wireless card output

code:

           *-network                  description: wireless interface                  product: bcm4312 802.11b/g                  vendor: broadcom corporation                  physical id: 0                  bus info: pci@0000:10:00.0                  logical name: eth1                  version: 01                  serial: removed                  width: 64 bits                  clock: 33mhz                  capabilities: bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless                  configuration: broadcast=yes driver=wl0 driverversion=5.10.91.9   latency=0 module=wl multicast=yes wireless=ieee 802.11

is because card doesn't support monitor mode or it's because have not upgraded bcm-42xx-fwcutter? i've tried taking repo, won't work , doesn't show in synaptics manager.

has idea of problem can be? i'd appreciate it.

the sta (module named wl) not support monitor mode, neither ndiswrapper. have use b43 or openfwwf drivers, if want have monitor mode broadcom chip.
