It seems in this case that http://repository.wifi-ita.com/src/rtl8187_linux_26.1010-intrepid-jaunty.zip  simply did not work for me.

Hi bamboo,
- If you use the Tutorial written in the Documentation of Aircrack-ng, you must manually edit file r8187.h.

- If you use this Tutorial does not need to modify this driver package, (rtl8187_linux_26.1010-intrepid-jaunty.zip) because is already modified, and work without problem on Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04. (default Kernel)
Installing driver r8187

NOTE: Do not make any changes to the package/driver. (is already changed)
MPORTANT NOTE: Ref. ALFA-AWUS036H + r8187/Stacks-ieee80211 on Ubuntu Karmic -
- The driver r8187/Stacks-ieee80211at the moment is not compilable. (error with "make" command)

- Post the exact error that you received.
(I have checked and there are no errors)

Bye Jano

It's in my previous post.  I most likely misunderstood what was going on with your package and it was easier to use the virgin package in this case.  All's well that ends well.  Very good tutorial especially the answers to the follow up questions.  It really helped.

Thanks.

Hello Jano, I will be more than happy if you could help me...I've been trying to get monitoring and injection working for my card...
I have an Edimax usb card, which uses the rt2870sta driver.
I'm using ubuntu jaunty, and i also have backtrack 4 beta, and backtrack 4 pre final.
I've successfully compiled and installed the compat wireless drivers you posted in this tutorial under both Ubuntu Jaunty and backtrack 4, and I've followed it step by step, from downloading everything, to blacklisting, and to compiling and installing, and finally modprobe.
The interface is up and running, but I cannot seem to get it into monitoring mode, no matter what I do, It just won't work ! by that I mean I run the following commands:
airmon-ng start wlan0 (the edimax interface)
airodump-ng mon0
The card is in monitor mode, but I can't see any APs. I got this result on both BT4 and Jaunty.
the other card i have is the intel iwl3945 internal card, is it possible that injection is not working because of some drivers conflict caused by the intel card?
I am not a newb, and I am 100% sure I did everything as you said in the tutorial. Can you please help ?
PS: I also tried the apocolipse driver on backtrack 4 beta, but it didn't work neither.
Thanks in advance, keep up the good work man.

alimahmoudy,

What chipset does your Edimax card have?

Ralink is the manufacturer.  What is the exact chipset?  For example RTL8187L.

It looks to be a Realtek RT-3070L chipset.  Lots of people complaining on the net that injection does not work with your card.  Perhaps try the compat-wireless latest drivers.

I've downloaded and installed the latest compat drivers. But injection and monitoring still don't work.
Any help please ?

Hey,
I can get the card into monitor mode, but no APs appear.
the injection test says there are no APs although I am sure not less than 20 APs are available.

I have one question, I would like to know does anyone else have this problem.
I have alfa awus036h card on Ubuntu Karmic 9.10, x64.
It has really great range, I can see 100 stations, while with my laptop card I can see 10. Injection works fine.
Here is the problem, I can only connect to really close networks, that I can connect even with my laptop card. To be more precise I can connect, but if signal is not larger than 78% internet is not working, while on my laptop 40% is just enough for good connection. And if the card connects with 78%+ connection is really good, without any problem, but below that no way of surfing, although it gets an ip and everything.
What seems to be the problem, is there some patch? It's not that important for me that injection works, I have plenty of networks to connect to, but I would like a stable connection even with lover signal. I've also tried opensuse 11.2, the same problem.

enedene,

If you can see many APs, that probably means your Receiving sensitivity is very good.  But, if you can not connect, your Transmitting capability is not up to the same capability.  The AP can not hear your signal but you can hear the AP's signal.  With AWUS036H on Ubuntu 9.04, the wireless chip has the software adjustable Tx output power using r8187 but that is not yet available on Ubuntu 9.10 because of the difference in kernels.  So, many AWUS036H owners are staying with ubuntu 9.04 for the time being.

Refer to this web site :  http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=r8187#highpower_ipriv_setting

That web site does not talk about the kernel differences....but this thread does in detail

Hi alimahmoudy,
- The new driver RT3070, at the moment, work only for Internet connection. (with ALFA-AWUS050NH)
- This Thread is for ALFA-AWUS036H and ALFA-AWUS050NH on Ubuntu Hardy, Intrepid, and Jaunty (NOT Karmic)

PS
: I think that Karmic is not a good Ubuntu version, better wait....

Bye Jano
