what driver do you think i have to put in blacklist ?
the wifi adapter works (it can connect to another network)
but when i make an airmon-ng (i want to connect my android phone)
i have

Interface            Chipset        Driver

wlan0                Unknown             rt2800usb - [phy0]
                                        (monitor mode enabled on mon0)

normally chipset should be rt2870/3070

thanks for your help

P.S. : system works when i boot withe Backtrack 4

P.P.S : i you have another idea to make a hot spot you are welcome

Re: which driver to put in blacklist

Hey, i have an identical conflict with my wifi card.

modify your /etc/rc.conf similar to this

MODULES=(!rt2800usb !rt2800lib !rt2x00usb !rt2x00lib)

If your 100% sure it should be using rt2870sta then blacklisting those above should do the trick.
