Okay, so I've got a linksys wusb100 v2, so instead of selling it, I figured I'd try to get it to work.

I have searched for wusb100 and rt2870 multiple times, on this forum and google, no go yet, at least not fully.

I originally went with this tutorial:
http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...e-working.html, and got the BT3 driver working (sorta), but still not to the ability of being able to use it.

At one point, the WiCd network manager could pick up my network, but that's about it.

Now I'm getting the following on different checks.

When I first installed it, I tried airmon-ng and it detected and would enable monitor mode, however, when using with airodump-ng, it showed nothing, even though I'm next to the router.

Any advice would be great. I'm kinda stumped at this point.
