Re: How to get ar9170 chipset usb adapter working
Use BackTrack 4 R2. With BT4 R2, your adapter just needs to be plugged in and it will work. No changes need.
I wouldn't install the carl9170 drivers. I tried carl9170 about 2 weeks ago and it sucks. It lowers the max Tx power, couldn't inject in monitor mode (ch. stuck at ch -1) and in managed mode my connection was a little more than 10 dBm weaker than with the ar9170usb dirver.
Re: How to get ar9170 chipset usb adapter working
Thanks, I already did. But a new problem. After approximately 5 seconds after connecting adapter is disconnected from the access point / stop capturing.
Help!
PS: sorry for my english
Re: How to get ar9170 chipset usb adapter working
the problem with channel -1, You just apply a patch on kernel
I think that this resolve the problem with wrong fixed channel,Code:$ cat chan.c --- net/wireless/chan.c +++ net/wireless/chan.c @@ -49,9 +49,12 @@ int cfg80211_set_freq(struct cfg80211_registered_device *rdev, { struct ieee80211_channel *chan; int result; + struct wireless_dev *mon_dev = NULL; - if (wdev && wdev->iftype == NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR) + if (wdev && wdev->iftype == NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR) { + mon_dev = wdev; wdev = NULL; + } if (wdev) { ASSERT_WDEV_LOCK(wdev); @@ -76,5 +79,8 @@ int cfg80211_set_freq(struct cfg80211_registered_device *rdev, if (wdev) wdev->channel = chan; + if (mon_dev) + mon_dev->channel = chan; + return 0; }
BT4 R2 have many fixes, I have a TP-LINK WN422G and I not need of the patch and work a charm ( Atheros Communications, Inc. TP-Link TL-WN422G v2 802.11g [Atheros AR9271]
)
