how to change rtl187 to r8187 bactrack 4?

[xino1010]

Backtrack 4 load testing rtl8187 driver.

I know that includes the old driver r8187.

To make the change to our wifi driver must stop the interface to edit the file after locking drivers, go to:

# ifconfig wlan0 down
# vi / etc / modprobe.d / blacklist

we need to find and replace the r8187 driver blacklist r8187 blacklist rtl8187 by, so that we replace the load module by default we are really interested. Save, close and proceed to replace the driver loaded but SHOW ME AN ERROR.

# rmmod rtl8187

root @ bt: ~ # rmmod rtl8187
ERROR: Module rtl8187 does not exist in / proc / modules

What should I do? I'm doing wrong? How do I do?

my English is not very good, sorry.

thanks!

Try modprobe rtl8187 and then rmmod rtl8187, see if the error appears again.

I think I explained wrong ...
I would like to download the rtl8187 driver and uses the r8187.
How do I do?

Thank you!

I think a chipset of rtl8187 should work out of the box on BT4 Final. At least two cards I use are rtl8187 and dont need any drivers modifications.

No, you explained it right. The reason I said to run that commands is because rtl8187 may have been already unloaded. I remember doing the same thing as you, getting the error message and modprobing/rmmoding again. After the second rmmod the error message didn't appear, after doing it a third time it appeared again (meaning it was already removed). But it didn't took me anywhere since when I tried to modprobe r8187, it gave an error. And I think this is general, happens to everyone (someone correct me if i'm wrong).

Same here. Two cards too (my signature has them listed).

No such problems here.
rmmod -f rtl8187
modprobe r8187
Working both on VM and HD install. (AWUS036H 500mW).

Well, that's odd. I remember reading someone's post with the same issue (I think there were 2 more persons who reported this issue). But i've never tried it again, and my system was updated since. Well, either way everything works fine for me with the rtl8187 driver, so it's no big deal. Thanks for correcting me, #mfBaranian#.

"Recomendais"? Do you speak Portuguese?
I'm not sure I understood your "If so as" question.
Why do you want to change the driver? Is that because you can't connect to a router through wicd?

I want to change the driver because I read somewhere that is better for injection r8187 and rtl8187 l like to know how can I do if any of you can help me I would be very grateful!
