I can't get airodump-ng to work on La Fonera 2200. I've created a new interface in monitor mode:

root@OpenWrt:~# wlanconfig ath create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode monitor
root@OpenWrt:~# iwconfig 
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

br-lan    no wireless extensions.

wifi0     no wireless extensions.

Here is my wireless configuration file:

root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/config/wireless
config wifi-device  wifi0
        option type     atheros
        option channel          5
        option diversity        0
        option txantenna        1
        option rxantenna        1

        # REMOVE THIS LINE TO ENABLE WIFI:
        option disabled 0

config wifi-iface
        option device   wifi0
        option network  lan
        option mode     "sta"

airodump-ng starts for interface ath1, but it doesn't find anything! Any idea why?
