Failed to patch rtl8187

Hello,

I just got an Alfa AWUS036H with the rtl8187 chipset.
I followed this guide ( http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=r8187 ), but when i tried to execute the make command, this error was outputed:

[ksemeks@cornfield rtl8187_linux_26.1010.0622.2006]$ make

Hi,

I've tried it now, but the problem persists. Same error.
Why would blacklisting the driver be of any help when the patching isn't done yet?

Re: Failed to patch rtl8187

It took me three seconds to find a solution.

But before that, I have to ask... any reason you can't use the kernel rtl8187 driver?

Re: Failed to patch rtl8187

I'm experimenting with wireless networks and various wifi cards.
Would you like to share the solution?

Thanks
