i followed this step before and still works fine but you have to manually edit some syntax to match the latest update of the driver
Failing injection test on RT2860 with compat-wireless driver
Hello all,
I'm trying to get my RT2860 wireless adapter to do packet injection. I installed the compat-wireless drivers as described here http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...ad.php?t=37549, that seemed to work well, my new driver is called RT2800PCI as described there and I can connect to the internet.
I make sure the adapter is UP and in monitor mode, then run a probe request using aireplay-ng -9 ra0 (which is my adapter as listed in iwconfig). It comes back with "Trying broadcast probe requests...No answer..Found 3 APs" (or whatever number, depending on channel).
When it tries directed probe requests, I get 0/30: 0%.
I'm on BT5 RT3 HDD Gnome 32-bit
on a MSI Wind u100 (yeah, old)
If you want to see any output from commands, let me know! Thanks in advance for any replies.
Update #1: I think the problem is that I've failed to uninstall the old driver? I've added it to the blacklist, but it seems to be running anyway.
When I run modprobe -r rt2860sta it comes back with "Fatal: Module rt2960sta is in use". The driver should now be rt2800pci after installing compat-wireless, right?
Update #2: I realised from the lsmod that the old driver was in use, so I disabled the wireless card and successfully removed the driver. On reboot, the rt2800pci-driver seems to load fine, it lists ra0 (my interface) in ifconfig and iwconfig. However, it now finds no APs, even on channel 6 (where I know my AP is located), and I got some error about bus (disappeared quickly) when trying to connect to Wicd - that also states that no networks are found.
Update #3: Oops, seems the original driver wasn't as gone as I thought. It came back after a boot! I must have done something wrong when installing compat-wireless...
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated! :S
