RTL8187 / managed mode

**timstewart** · 02-18-2009, 08:00 PM

There's a driver for the 8187b on the aircrack-ng website. Just get that (and the appropriate patch?) from there. Is the 8187b as bad as the 8187 with the mac80211 driver under 2.6.27(+)?

**M1TH1K** · 02-19-2009, 08:27 AM

yes. has exactly the same problems... i have that driver for the 8187b and i receve the same error when ./wlan0up because in the ieee80211 directory there is no .ko files only .c....

by the way how do i patch mac80211 with this patch?? to see if it works

http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/rtl81...6.28-rc6.patch

**M1TH1K** · 02-23-2009, 01:51 AM

No one know what is the difference between .ko files and .c ?
Why do i have .c and need .ko ?

thanks

hi guys,

i got problem with my alfa awus036h. injection and monitormode works fine, but when i try to connect to my router the connection breaks down after a few seconds.

pinging the router is in the first seconds possible, but than, the connection breaks down and host is unreachable. ifconfig and iwconfig says that im connected and everything is fine.

can someone help me?

**mfBaranian** · 02-23-2009, 09:51 AM

Had a similar problem. Solved when i set the bssid of specific router to connect to.
iwconfig wlan0 ap bssid
Maby that will help (although I doubt that - i have 2 routers on one network so needed to solve the issue).

**imported_PeterPanzki** · 02-23-2009, 10:27 AM

ap flag is set correctly. maybe the drivers are buggy? or a process in the background kills the connection?!?

here is an example:

**imported_PeterPanzki** · 02-24-2009, 10:00 AM

ok the problem is the range.... when i get closer to the ap it works, but its stressing me, i use 500mw alfa with yagi antenna and the ap is behind one wall in 20 meters distance. so i think the driver is not working correctly.

i get the same problems with *.ko files. timstewart can you describe more details about installing the old driver, most interesting the make, make install step.

thanks

**timstewart** · 02-27-2009, 04:57 AM

PeterPanzki

Your problem is exactly what I had using the stock Ubuntu 8.10 drivers. This is what set me on the course of changing back to the old ones.

I can't explain the installation any further. My instructions are exactly what you need to type in to get it working. Make sure you are logged in as root for 'make install' though. (And don't forget to edit r8187.h).

**imported_PeterPanzki** · 02-27-2009, 10:37 AM

here is what i do:

Code:

root@bt:~# ifconfig wlan0 down
root@bt:~# vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
root@bt:~# rmmod r8187 rtl8187 2>/dev/null
root@bt:~# unzip rtl8187_linux_26.1010.zip
no errors on unzipping the file
root@bt:~# cd rtl8187_linux_26.1010.0622.2006/
root@bt:~/rtl8187_linux_26.1010.0622.2006# tar xzf drv.tar.gz
root@bt:~/rtl8187_linux_26.1010.0622.2006# tar xzf stack.tar.gz
root@bt:~/rtl8187_linux_26.1010.0622.2006# vi beta-8187/r8187.h

now i change:

Code:

#include <asm/io.h>
#include <asm/semaphore.h>

to:

Code:

#include <linux/io.h>
#include <linux/semaphore.h>

Code:
