Injection Driver (Comments from developer of N900 injection driver)
A few days ago, I contacted the developer of the N900 injection driver, to ask him about the possibility of him developing an injection driver for the N9(50).
My questions and his reply (quoted in part - I asked some other stuff, but it wasn't as relevant), posted with his permission: Quote:
Someone else will have to do the busywork afterwards of figuring out how to distribute the injection driver in a way most convenient to end users, and of porting the injection patches to newer/other kernel versions, but that should be fairly easy to do (after all that's how the situation developed on the N900 - after a few versions, the injection driver support was integrated into the power-kernel, and then after a while longer, the injection driver itself was packaged into the repositories). I imagine that amongst all of the N9/N950 users who'd like to see their devices have injection driver capacity, there's enough motivation to get him a device to develop on. Now, personally, I have yet to acquire either an N9 or an N950 for myself, so the extent of my contribution to this is just getting this conversation started, since it seems no one else has thought to do so. I'll be linking him to this thread, so if he wants to comment/clarify/correct, he can do so. |

The N9 chip is wl1271.
Injection module should not really be that difficult. Why don't you build it yourself as you need it? (might be a nice learning experience :D) |

Also it would be easier for lxp as he already has some experience with the wl1251 ;) Mentalist would have to start from scratch, in terms of experience with building drivers. Note: This is my view on *his* motivation |

Now, I like the idea of having packet injection capabilities on all devices simply because it feels to me like a logical extension of user freedom. So, purely on principle, I'd like to see injection-capable drivers on everything. But since my device is an N900, I am not directly impacted by the lack of an injection driver on the N9 or N950. Still, I know a lot of people wanted an injection driver, and near as I could tell, no one was making headway into doing it (of course, someone could be working on it in the sidelines, not wanting to announce anything until they have a working driver ready), and no one had thought to (or knew how to) contact the developer of the N900 injection driver. So I figured, hey, why not ask him and see what he says about the possibility of him producing the driver for the N9/N950. |
Re: Injection Driver (Comments from developer of N900 injection driver)
I have N9 and would like to have injection mode on it. But I'm not as reach to afford myself donating a device to the developer alone. But if we have more "donors" we need to get roughly $500. Not so big amount if there is a hundred of us (and even less). And its easy understandable that lxp doesn't want to buy a device for $500 just to help me and other n9 owners who want this mode
Maybe we should create a poll on the subject? Separate thanks to Mentalist for starting this thread and contacting the developer (lxp) |

I believe rainisto claimed on irc to have enabled injection on his custom kernel, maybe if we ask him nicely he can share his work :)

Why not start a kickstarter project?

Re: Injection Driver (Comments from developer of N900 injection driver)
I sent Arie my broken n950 since Nokia didn't want it back and he wanted to try and get the sim card fixed, but if it's for injection it doesn't need a sim slot anyways. I wonder if lxp would accept that? Can you ask him? I'll see if by some miracle it's fixed meanwhile.

Re: Injection Driver (Comments from developer of N900 injection driver)
Yeah the broken n950 is in finland, where is lxp? Can you see if he will accept an n9 also, or does he want an n950?

Re: Injection Driver (Comments from developer of N900 injection driver)
I will donate $200 to his PayPal in order to get this project going. I want airodump-ng and aircrack-ng on my N9 the way it works on N900 from terminal!
