I've googled and checked on here but I keep getting mixed information and none of it seems to be adding up. I just got an Alfa awus036h. I'm using the r8187 module and bringing it up. It's entering monitor mode fine. Airodump works. I try to start up kismet after editing the sources to...
source=r8187,wlan0,ALFA
and I get back....
Unknown capture source type 'r8187' in source 'r8187,wlan0,ALFA'
Any ideas
I am not sure why, but i use
would that make a difference?Quote:
source=rt8180,wlan0,ALFA
r8180 would be a different driver. Tried bringing it up and using it just to make sure and it didn't work. :(
As do I and it is working flawlessly.Quote:

since i seen your typing source=r8180,wlan0,ALFA
No need to modprobe r8180 just edit the source in kismet.conf according to f3ntanils suggestion. And yes it is on BT3final that I use this source with my Alfa. And note that it is rt8180 not r8180 as you wrote in your post.Quote:
