Realtek 8187SE mini wireless card

[mrmrmrmr]

On my netbook , I have Realtek's 8187SE wireless card.
I am not sure what is the correct module for this card.
When I installed Backtrack 4 , my card was not recognized.
So I got a driver from:
code(dot)google(dot)com/p/msi-wind-linux/wiki/installer

Installed it and now my card is recognized when I insert the module with "modprobe r8180"
However, when I try aircrack-ng , injection is not working.

Then I found the driver at :
www(dot)aircrack-ng(dot)org/doku.php?id=r8187&s=8187

I patched it and tried to insert it with "modprobe r8187" , however it fails with "unkown symbol in module, or unknown parameter" message.

I am not sure which driver is the correct one that I can use with injection.
Can anyone tell me what I should use ?

[mrmrmrmr]

additionally, I found another driver specially for my wireless card (realtek 8187SE):
http : // wiki . msiwind . net/index.php/Ubuntu_8.04_Hardy_Heron#Option_2:_Compiling_Driver s_for_the_Supplied_Wireless_Card

it is reported to work with injection but I can't compile it. I get a lot of errors.
I think it is because of the new kernel used in BT4.
How can I solve this ?

[mrmrmrmr]

I am not sure if I am on the correct path.
can anyone who has knowledge help me ?

on the page http : // wiki . msiwind . net/index.php/Ubuntu_8.04_Hardy_Heron#Option_2:_Compiling_Driver s_for_the_Supplied_Wireless_Card
you posted, read further down, there is a download for Ubuntu intrepid (8.10), thats the one you want (intrepid kernel is 2.6.27, bt4 is 2.6.28 ), the problem w/ some wireless chipsets with old drivers in new kernels is the kill_proc funcion that was removed from the linux kernel in 2.6.26, if you're an experienced programmer you can compare the Realtek driver for current (which is likely the one without injection) to compiling the old, injection supported, driver, and change whats depricated. that's not recommended unless you know what your doing though :P

Hi,

I am not that skilled. Is there a ready driver which I can use on BT4 for injecion ?

If not, Can anyone prepare it for us who have a Realtek 8187SE ?

[imported_hatake_kakashi]

The driver I believe is in beta stages so its not stable and I don't think there's any injection support yet.

The driver I believe is in beta stages so its not stable and I don't think there's any injection support yet.

will it ever have injection support ?
what do you think ?

[imported_hatake_kakashi]

It may support injection in the future but this depends on many factors:
1) the stability of the driver
2) if one of the aircrack-ng devs or possibly bt devs laying hands on devices with this chipset and are stuck in a situation where they have no choice but to develop it.
3) someone who kindly donates such items to devs for better support possibly including injection. Either that or becoming a lab rat for the sake of everyone else.
4) someone donating money to the developers so they can develop better hardware/software/drivers and possibly injection.

[mrmrmrmr]

ok, this time I will not ask about injection.
I have more generic problem with Realtek 8187se wifi card.

At home, I am using a home made Linux wifi router, running hostapd on a Atheros wireless card. Only WPA2-PSK is accepted.

My Windows client can connect to it with Realtek 8187se card without any problems.
However, I couldn't succeed in connecting to this network from Backtrack 4 with Realtek 8187se drivers.
I also tried with Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 resulting in failure.
I get "EAPOL-Key timeout" errors on the hostapd logs.

The same driver can connect to other WPA1 and WPA2 networks supplied on commercial wifi access points.

How can I troubleshoot this problem ?

Here is the full log from hostapd on my access point:
