FYI Kali live system is also using rt2800usb driver and yet it worked
fine. I'll use rtl8187 driver on Arch soon and see what happens. Regards

Hi everybody
I spent days trying to get my Alfa AWUS036H work with Wireshark on Arch
Linux. It captured all sorts of fancy protocols, but no tcp. I booted
Kali
linux on the same PC and followed the same procedure for data capture
and
this time everything worked. I could see http requests to multiple wifi
access points nearby.
After some more googleing, I think the problem is with the rt2800usb
driver
on arch. I read somewhere that kali comes with a 'modified' wifi
driver for
capturing tcp data. I was wondering if its possible to somehow get
kali's
driver working on arch? any help would be appreciated!

The Alfa AWUS036H should use rtl8187, not rt2800. Try it, and see.
I remember the Alfa card having issues with Arch a couple of years ago,
but i never got around to reporting the bugs...
Can anybody here tell me how to make Arch use rtl8187 driver? Using
'modprobe -r rt2800usb', I removed rt2800 driver and loaded rtl8187 module,
hoping that kernel would automatically switch to rtl8187 but it isn't
happening. Regards.
Try blacklisting rt2800 via /etc/modprobe.d/ and reboot.
Upon blacklisting rt2800usb driver, the WiFi won't come up. 'lsusb -t'
shows that there is no driver loaded for Alfa AWUS036H on boot. Later, I
manually loaded rt2800usb module to get the wifi working. So no luck
getting the module working with rtl8187 drivers.
