updated tutorial for zd1211rw
I had a problem with wlan0 being fixed on channel -1 no matter what compat i used every compat i tried gave me the same result wlan0 mon0 fixed on ch -1 but i found some solution so if anyone have problem with mon0 being fixed on channel -1 this will help you.
my kernel 2.6.35.19 and this will work with any other kernel too
download latest compat from
http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/ next u need is patch for zd1211

now copy those patches to your compat directory save as a text file make it exe name it whatever u want to i named it first one x second one c and third one d
cd compat directory
and apply it by first one; patch -Np0 -i x
second one; patch -Np1 -i c
and third; patch -Np1 -i d
everything should be ok nothing will fail.
next step make and sudo make install after it finished
still from compat directory sudo make wlunload and sudo make btunload
than modprobe zd1211rw or whatever card u have and test it airmon-ng start wlan0(or whatever u got)
aireplay-ng -9 mon0
and airodump-ng mon0 u wont see anymore channel being fixed on -1
tested on 2.6.35 tested ok 2.6.34 on backtrack and lucid 10.04 internet and aircrack work without any problem
thanks to this man Author: Maxim Levitsky

i was just trying to help people to make compat work cuz it doesnt without third patch now it does but sleek say it does with zd1211 and not with other cards and he didnt even try it.
