Testing kernel 2.6.24 problems with wifi rt73 r8187

Trying to compile 2 modules that do compile fine in core 2.6.23:

Sorry if here is not the place to discuss testing, btw... new here

Re: Testing kernel 2.6.24 problems with wifi rt73 r8187

the r8187 module is now included in the kernel as rtl8187. Same for rt73 which is named rt73usb.

Re: Testing kernel 2.6.24 problems with wifi rt73 r8187

Hey Snowman, tnx for the reply but, they are not the same drivers.

r8187 != rtl8187 (original from realtek)
I need 8187 legacy, the one that comes is the mac80211 version

Same for rt73...

These drivers dont support mode monitor, injection, ..well.. kismet and friends

Re: Testing kernel 2.6.24 problems with wifi rt73 r8187

FYI, using rt73usb here - I just put it in monitor mode and launched kismet with no problems.

No injection support yet though AFAIK.

Re: Testing kernel 2.6.24 problems with wifi rt73 r8187

@tomk:

Yea, saw that after I post about.. thing is, I need to issue the command 2 times
`iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor`

Then yes, it works in monitor mode. No injection.

With the patchs it compiles fine (r8187) then you can inject.

I have problems connecting with this alternative driver, so I let`em both installed and I use airdriver-ng to switch.
To do this, dont issue `make install` , instead copy the files manually and `depmod -ae`

The make install script will remove rtl8187.ko

So, rtl8187 working fine here, when I get my rt73 I`ll test it
