INstalling rt61

[psp219]

After i install my driver do i have to reboot backtrack for it to take effect? because when i run airmon-ng it still says unknow chipset and unknow driverand i am working on installing it on my harddrive.

rt61 is already installed on BT2.

If it's not loading, try modprobe rt61

[psp219]

when i do modprobe rt61 nothing happens no message whatsoever

[level]

Try this:

lsmod | grep rt61

It should be there.

ok thanks ill try that
i tried that and it says rt61 255686 0
but when i use airmon-ng start ra0 it still says uknow driver and unknow chipset and i did this after i manually installed the driver from serial monkey

3 things come to mind...

1) make sure its ra0 and not rausb0 and
2) make sure the bin file is in the correct directory
3) reboot and then modprobe and also ifconfig -a

[psp219]

does it have to be a hdd install for it to work?

[Re@lity]

when I do modprobe rt61 nothing happens no message whatsoever

JFYI: There won't be a message of any kind if it loads the module successfully.

[shamanvirtuel]

if you want to see if successful

modprobe -v driver

bt ~ # modprobe -v rt61
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.20-BT-PwnSauce-NOSMP/extra/rt61.ko
bt ~ #

if you see this you are good

ifconfig ra0 up
don't use airmon-ng with rt61as there's pb with chipset detection
do it by hand

iwconfig rt61 mode monitor channel X rate 1M
iwpriv ra0 rfmontx 1
iwpriv ra0 forceprism 1

aireplay-ng --test ra0

remeber that if you are in live install you need to build a module or you will need to do it at each reboot

a startup script can be the solution

i built and used make install but when i use modprobe -v driver it says FATAL: No module found i think thats the problem
