I use gentoo on arm. When I try nmap my local network it exhaust:
| Code: | | pcap_open_live(wlan0, 256, 0, 200) FAILED. Reported error: live packet capture not supported on this system. |
How to solve it? |

What sort of ARM system and what sort of WiFi hardware? |

This is out of my comfort zone by far. I use a laptop for this sort of thing!
The error you get seems to indicate that perhaps Android have a different driver for the Qualcomm which supports more features or you have not compiled in enough things in your kernel to support packet capture. Also - do you have the correct firmware for that device?
Does the wifi work at all in Gentoo? |

looks like the reason of this in wifi chipset and locked monitoring mode as default. To solve it need to recompile kernel with external wifi card support:
supported wifi card:
TP-Link TL-WN321G
TP-Link TL-WN722N
TP-Link TL-WN821N
TP-Link TL-WN822N
Alfa AWUS036H
Alfa AWUS036NH
Ubiquiti Networks SR71-USB
SMC SMCWUSB-N2
Netgear WNA1000
and then connect it via OTG cable. If I understand it correct.
But I didn't found how packet capture can works on android without it
By the way, it's not a gentoo's issue, in general. And thanks for your help |
