BT4, ALFA card, Reverting to ieee drivers, and installing mdk3 "fakeap"

[mfBaranian]

The driver is fine in BT4-PreFinal, no need to go playing with it.

Yes it is. It works excellent, but I still get better sensitivity with the legacy driver. If you would like to use the legacy driver in BT4PF it's available in the repo's.

First blacklist the rtl8187 and then

apt-get install r8187-drivers (remeber it's for BT4 Pre Final > kernel 2.6.29)

Just my 2 lipe. (Currency of my dear Balkanian country )

Can not thank you enough! Just had a awus050nh card delivered in error however using your info it now injects lightning fast.

Thank you!

hi guys,

I could patch the driver, but I can't do the make command afterwards.
I'm using Kubuntu 9.10
I hope somebody could help me.
Here is my error message:

this should be the two important lines
