Help with installing patches

[t_timmy2005]

Hi

Sorry if this question seems stupid but i cant work out how to install a patch. i have an eeepc 900a and have seen on the aircrack-ng site tthat there is a patch that will allow me to inject properly. i am hoping too that it will allow me to use tools such as kismet too. here is the patch :

hxxp://metasploit.com/users/hdm/tools/madwifi-r3726-061708-03-hdm.tar.gz

Could someone please tell me how to install this properly.

Thanks in advance...

Best Darn install tutorial out there

Well maybe not the best but it will get you there.
Also this is the basics you might want to spend more time learning them instead of using kismet and injecting, since you may do something wrong or illegal.

hi archangel
Thanks for that, i know how to do what was in the tut, unfortunatly i get errors when i try to make or make install:

Not exactly sure about the error, but first thing is do you have the kernel sources installed? Also check for a readme make file or some sort of documentation in the directory after you unpack it.
Also use the errors above in google and see what comes up.
Check also, with madwifi for more info.
