--- BT5r1 Gnome 32bit fresh install:

Trying card-to-card injection...
Attack -0: OK
Attack -1 (open): OK
Attack -1 (psk): OK
Attack -2/-3/-4/-6: OK
Attack -5/-7: OK
Injection is working!
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/carl9170 in "/lib/firmware" and it will load

I followed the guide step by step, but I get this:

18:28:10  Trying card-to-card injection...
18:28:10  Attack -0:           OK
18:28:10  Attack -1 (open):    OK

18:28:15  Attack -2/-3/-4/-6:  Failed
18:28:19  Attack -5/-7:        Failed

Do you know how to fix my problem ?

Well, I got mine working. I went through the same process as poor lost soul, except with compat-wireless 3.6rc6. I'm using bt5r3, and apparently there isn't a 3.2.6.patches.tar on the bt website that i've found, so i skipped that step. At any rate, after compiling and installing, reaver is running fine, but channel hopping is not. I remember seeing this somewhere else. I'll poke at it and keep you informed.

I am a beginer using linux....i tried to follow the steps but still get problem my chipset still unknown for ALFA AWUS036NHR. Otherwise when i try to scan wireless it can not detetc the access point nearby..Any body can solve my problem.

[DataPhreak]

Update! See? I'm a man of my word.

So i ran reaver, it worked, figured everything was working. Well, it wasn't. I started poking around trying to get master mode to work with iwconfig, and it wouldn't work. So i went back through the process again with different settings, and injection is working as well as channel hopping. Forgive me if I do not paste logs, but I'm posting from a different computer.

Again this is BT5r3 Gnome64. Followed lost soul's process again, this time I followed the KDE instructions using wget http://linuxwireless.org/download/co...-09-27.tar.bz2 and making the appropriate modifications. This was sans-patch. I didn't even check if there was a patch this time. Meh.

At any rate, what's not working is master mode. I'm going to have to poke around and see if I can get airbase working. There's a mesh mode and another mode that might work. Again, will keep you posted.

Hi Rubaz

I'm trying to use the same card and BT5r3 on a VMWare and no luck so far
could you please let me know exactly what steps did you followed to get it working ?

Many Thanks

Edit: I've given up on this adapter and went back to the AWUS036H (I've also got a AWUS036NH on the side).

Just exchanged my AWUS036H for the AWUS036NHR (because I need it to work with OSX 10.8.2 on my Macbook Air (2010)).

First of all, maybe a N00B-question, but; Why does the USB Cable provided has 2 Male USB connectors? Is this for low-voltage USB-ports on specific computers? Do I need to connect both on my MacBook as well? I've connected the one that comes from the main-cable, the other one is disconnected.

I've downloaded the RTL8188RU for OSX 10.8 directly from the RealTek website:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/DOWNLOADS/...Downloads=true

It's a lot faster then trying to download the driver from the Alfa website and it works perfectly. Tested and working on my MacBook.

I'm running BackTrack 5 R3 32-Bit GNOME (iSO) via VMWare Fusion 5 on OSX 10.8.2 and after a apt-get update it seems its working perfectly out of the box:
