Trouble getting started with AWUS036H

[SquattingBull]

Hi!

I used the boardsearch and googled like a freak!

Today I got my new AWUS036H delivered, but there is some trouble getting started with this Device. I plugged it in and installed the Aircrack-NG Drivers (hxxp://ww w.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=r8187&s=rtl8187). I am bloody new at Backtrack and getting new Hardware work.

ifconfig returned:

How can I deactivate my OnBoard Wlan Adapter and get my Alfa activ?
what should i do next?

Thank you!
Sorry again... I am really bloody fresh at Backtrack.

plug your alfa after boot, or replug

I plugged it in and installed the Aircrack-NG Drivers (hxxp://ww w.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=r8187&s=rtl8187)

the driver is in bt, if you install (it's not necessary) use airdriver-ng when you are connected to the net

[SquattingBull]

hey thank you! the replug worked!

Is it possible to kill my onboard Wlan0?
The AWUS036 now runs os Wlan1, do i have to configure anything else? Because my Link Quality is about ~50%? (1m distance to AP).

hmpf! What is this wmaster0 with this strange Mac? Thats the Mac of my OnBoard Chip with some -00- Segment added.

wmaster0  Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-13-E8-15-47-5B-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00                   -00

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

now my wlan1 (AWUS036H) can't find any APs.
Huh...

wmaster and wlan0 = 3945 intel (wlan0 is interface with you can use, wmaster0 i don't know sorry)

(wmaster and wlan0 = 3945 intel --> i supose, it's this for me)
