Jano can you give a list of patches you used?

My previous usb-bt4 crashed so i had to reinstall him, that why i needed Jano's  http://jano.homelinux.net/wardriving/driver-patch/compat-wireless-aircrack-lucid-patched.tar.bz2

But but because his server is down for some day i tryed the regular http://download.aircrack-ng.org/drivers/compat-wireless-aircrack-alfa036h-050nh.tar.bz2

I have compiled this driver package before on BT4-final so i dont know what have happend this time.
I tryed some newer compat-wireless packages aswell before i tryed this aircrack version.

With that package i got some strange errors....
Code:

Hello Jano

I tought, you might wanna know there's a line of command missing: "sudo cd compat-wireless-aircrack-lucid-patched"

sudo rmmod rtl8187 zd1211rw mac80211 cfg80211\
sudo mkdir /usr/src/drivers
cd /usr/src/drivers
sudo wget http://jano.homelinux.net/wardriving/driver-patch/compat-wireless-aircrack-lucid-patched.tar.bz2
sudo tar jxvf compat-wireless-aircrack-lucid-patched.tar.bz2
sudo cd compat-wireless-aircrack-lucid-patched
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo make unload

zlate, I tried to reproduce your bug. I downloaded the file you mentionned and did just make and make install then modprobe but it didn't give me any error at modprobe (thus when compiling and installing in my case).

Thanks for your time, i reinstalled the OS and reinstalled the driver and now its working. Weird i had to do a old windows trick(reinstall OS) to fix the issue.

The only thing i can remember that differ, when it did not work i did this line and tryed newest compat-wireless first. After that i tryed to get old ones working.
Code:
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential make patch gettext gcc python-psyco autoconf subversion tcl8.5 openssl libssl-dev libnl1 libnl-dev cracklib-runtime python-scapy macchanger-gtk

When i was reinstalling i read something about different gcc versions can break things, if the kernel was compiled with one gcc and drivers with a newer one. Because of that "update your software" line in the beginning of tutorial. So now i skipped it and got it working...

Hi

I'm using Ubuntu lucid kernel 2.6.32-24-generic, I followed every step from the tutorial trying to install the RTL8187/Stacks-­mac80211 drivers with no luck.
Everything seems ok, my alfa awus036h detects networks, network manager establishes connection but I can't surf the internet. I've searched this forum and google but can not find any answer.
I don't need to use this for aircrack, only to surf the internet.
I'd be grateful for any help.

Hi adgo,
- With Ubuntu Lucid default rtl8187/mac-80211 driver and latest Kernel updates (2.6.32-24.39 Wed Jul 28) i do not have any problem for surfing Internet and Aircrack-ng Suite.
(without installing Compat-Wireless or Backports-modules)

Code:
jano:~$ uname -a
Linux 2.6.32-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 06:07:29 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
Code:
jano:~$ modinfo rtl8187

- Then I suggest you verify the correct configuration of your router (DNS, Gateway etc.) and if not solve, search/ask in the Ubuntu International Forum:
http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php

NOTE: This is the Aircrack-ng test with this driver:

UPDATE 29 Aug 2010

- I also added the new patch to fix the problem --> "mon0 fixed channel: -1", which appeared on the top right screen of Airodump-ng when using kernel 2.6.32 and later.
(for example Ubuntu Lucid)

Hi friends, I have Alfa AWUS051NH and LinuxMint9 (Ubuntu 10.04).
I got the latest compact wireless drivers from Jano (driver-patch/compat-wireless-aircrack-lucid-patched.tar.bz2).

But I have serious problem, my AWUS051NH don't see any 5Ghz wifi!
With driver rt2800usb working everything:
Code:
iwlist wlan0 chanel
wlan1     27 channels in total; available frequencies :
          Channel 01 : 2.412 GHz
          Channel 02 : 2.417 GHz
          Channel 03 : 2.422 GHz
          Channel 04 : 2.427 GHz
          Channel 05 : 2.432 GHz
          Channel 06 : 2.437 GHz
          Channel 07 : 2.442 GHz
          Channel 08 : 2.447 GHz
          Channel 09 : 2.452 GHz
          Channel 10 : 2.457 GHz
          Channel 11 : 2.462 GHz
          Channel 12 : 2.467 GHz
          Channel 13 : 2.472 GHz
          Channel 14 : 2.484 GHz
          Channel 36 : 5.18 GHz
          Channel 38 : 5.19 GHz
          Channel 40 : 5.2 GHz
          Channel 44 : 5.22 GHz
          Channel 46 : 5.23 GHz
          Channel 48 : 5.24 GHz
          Channel 149 : 5.745 GHz
          Channel 151 : 5.755 GHz
          Channel 153 : 5.765 GHz
          Channel 157 : 5.785 GHz
          Channel 159 : 5.795 GHz
          Channel 161 : 5.805 GHz
          Channel 165 : 5.825 GHz
          Current Frequency:2.457 GHz (Channel 10)

But with rt2780sta working only 2.4 Ghz (11 channels!!!) It's very strange.

Code:
switch from rt2800usb to rt2870sta:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo modprobe rt2800usb
sudo rmmod rt2870sta

iwlist wlan0 channel
wlan0     11 channels in total; available frequencies :
          Channel 01 : 2.412 GHz
          Channel 02 : 2.417 GHz
          Channel 03 : 2.422 GHz
          Channel 04 : 2.427 GHz
          Channel 05 : 2.432 GHz
          Channel 06 : 2.437 GHz
          Channel 07 : 2.442 GHz
          Channel 08 : 2.447 GHz
          Channel 09 : 2.452 GHz
          Channel 10 : 2.457 GHz
          Channel 11 : 2.462 GHz
          Current Frequency:2.457 GHz (Channel 10)

I need 5Ghz frequency for surfing...
Can you help me?

Hi,

I am new here, and have been looking for some information all day.  I was trying to send a PM, but doesn't look like I am able to.

I had a couple of questions, all related to the AWUS036H.

The driver that Jano has released (Wow, amazing job on this thread too), is this the same driver that is in BT4R1, or are they using something else?

Also, have you compared the performance of the AWUS036H on Windows and Linux.  With drivers I use now on Linux, the performance on Linux is way below that on Windows.

I am simply wanting to connect to an access point and get online.  In multiple locations, under Linux, I cant connect, or the connections drops constantly, while under Windows, the connection is very usable.  For a long-range card, its not very long range under Linux.

Just curious if this is just life, or if the new drivers that are mentioned on this thread are comparable to how well the Windows drivers work?

Thanks in advance for any help!

- The Kernel version of BT4 r1 is different.
- I chose two version of the Compact-Wireless (those that worked well) compatible with Jaunty and Lucid and then I applied the patches.

I am simply wanting to connect to an access point and get online.  In multiple locations, under Linux, I cant connect, or the connections drops constantly, while under Windows, the connection is very usable.  For a long-range card, its not very long range under Linux.
- For this purpose, Winzozz drivers are more suitable and have a nice "GUI" with more settings.
