Compat-wireless and BackTrack

I recently bought TP-LINK TL-WN722n wi-fi usb dongle with atheros ar9271 chipset which is not currently supported by BackTrack. The drivers came up with the last compat-wireless realease (driver's name is ath9k_htc). So I downloaded compat-wireless-2010-03-28 but I'm having trouble installing them in BackTrack 4 final.

Here is the driver's page

What I did is:

1. Downloaded the firmware (ar9271.fw) and copied it in /lib/firmware/
2. Extracted compat-wireless and run "make" from its directory

Code:

root@bt:~/compat-wireless-2010-03-28# make ./scripts/gen-compat-autoconf.sh config.mk > include/linux/compat_autoconf.h make -C /lib/modules/2.6.30.9/build M=/root/compat-wireless-2010-03-28 modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30.9' WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30.9/Module.symvers is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.

There seems to be an error in common.o af ath9k, but ath9k_htc seems OK.
Next I install the drivers

3. sudo make install

Code:

root@bt:~/compat-wireless-2010-03-28# sudo make install (...) make -C /lib/modules/2.6.30.9/build M=/root/compat-wireless-2010-03-28 modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30.9' WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30.9/Module.symvers is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.

4. Unload currently running drivers.

Code:

root@bt:~/compat-wireless-2010-03-28# sudo make unload

5. Try to load the ath9k_htc module using modprobe

Code:

root@bt:~/compat-wireless-2010-03-28# modprobe ath9k_htc

nothing happens

Code:

root@bt:~/compat-wireless-2010-03-28# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions.

6. Try to load them using the inbuild load command

Code:

root@bt:~/compat-wireless-2010-03-28# sudo make load Stoping bluetooth service.. Stopping bluetooth: bluetoothd. * bluetooth is not running. Unloading ath9k... Unloading ath...

Starting bluetooth: bluetoothd. bluetooth is running.

At this point there are two wireless adapters (I have an in-built one on the laptop) but they seem to be duplicated and they are not working at all - could not find any networks

Code:

root@bt:~/compat-wireless-2010-03-28# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off wlan1 IEEE 802.11abgn Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off hwsim0 no wireless extensions. pan0 no wireless extensions.

I don't have any idea what's wrong - please help - since I'm a linux newbie it could be somthing very obvious. I heard about kernel .conf file, installing kernel headers etc. but I have no idea what to do next. Thanx in advance...

Re: Compat-wireless and BackTrack

Try going to your compat wireless folder and running

Code:

/scripts/athenable

I'm sure someone else will have better insight than me, but you might want to give that a whirl.

Re: Compat-wireless and BackTrack

instead of using modprobe, try unloading the drivers and rebooting

Code:

# sudo make unload # reboot

Re: Compat-wireless and BackTrack

try this one:
1.

Code:

ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/2.6.30.9/build

2.reinstall

Code:

tar -xf /root/compat-wireless-2.6.32.3.tar.bz2 cd compat-wireless-2.6.32.3 make make install make unload

3use any notepad to open /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist ,add to blacklist

Code:

blacklist arusb_lnx

Re: Compat-wireless and BackTrack

Tried to reboot, tried /scripts/athenable, tried secowu's solution - nothing works.

When I load the driver and run dmesg afterwards its says

Code:

usb 2-5: firmware: requesting ar9271.fw cfg80211: World regulatory domain updated: (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp) (2402000 KHz - 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) (2457000 KHz - 2482000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) (2474000 KHz - 2494000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) (5170000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) (5735000 KHz - 5835000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) usb 2-5: ath9k_htc: Firmware - ar9271.fw not found ath9k_hif_usb: probe of 2-5:1.0 failed with error -22 usbcore: registered new interface driver ath9k_hif_usb

It seems to have troubles locating the firmware - ar9271.fw, which is in /lib/firmware. Strange. Ideas?

Similar problem with this one.Problem to locate ar9271.fw while I put it in both /lib/firmware and also /lib/firmware-2.6.30.9/ .

I alseo have one TL-WN722N,let me try.

like this ,2 errors

Re: Compat-wireless and BackTrack

Damn That's so crazy I was gonna buy that one too but I didn't find much support for it online so I ended up the the tl-wn821n and I really wanted to get that one so let me know if you get it to work because I still want to buy it.

P.S if you get it to work with the injection then please let me know. And if its possible please post up how you did it thanks

@secowu
Please, post here theversion of ar9271.fw firmware file you use and tell us exactly where you put it. Do you use updated BackTrack or not? It would be best if you could a step-by-step guide how did you do it :) - it will be most appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
