rt2860 [eee pc 1000h]

[Arie1]

on my eee pc 1000h the rt2860 wifi card isnot recognized...

but it is easy to fix

wget  h t t p : // w w w .ralinktech.com.tw/data/drivers/2008_0918_RT2860_Linux_STA_v1.8.0.0.tar.bz2

tar -xjf 2008_0918_RT2860_Linux_STA_v1.8.0.0.tar.bz2

cd 2008_0918_RT2860_Linux_STA_v1.8.0.0

make && make install

modprobe rt2860sta

ifconfig ra0 up

airodump-ng works fine
I did not test injection

Don't forget to run with interface option ra0
"airodump-ng ra0"

Anybody knows how to add an alias so wlan0 points automagically to ra0
(command line) (no editing of /etc/modprobe.d/)?
Some programs look (default) for wlan0.
Thanks.

bogue, which program? Kismet for example can be run with different arguments...

kismet -c madwifi_g,wifi0,Atheros

[bogue]

"kismet -c ra0" gives an error:
FATAL: Illegal card source line 'ra0'
