Hello,

I am trying to teach my students why WEP is not to be used any more.  Using the BackTrack 3 beta, a 2.6.22 kernel, and a non mainline driver for my ralink wireless card everything worked great.  When my wireless card was supported in mainline 2.6.24 I gave it a try and found support was pretty bad, but the authors knew it and were working on it.  I am now trying 2.6.25-rc6 to see if thing improved and I am sorry to say they haven't.  I use the following commands (these commands work in 2.6.22) to get things started:
# airmon-ng stop rausb0
# ifconfig rausb0 down
# macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 rausb0
# airmon-ng start rausb0
# aireplay-ng -9 rausb0

In 2.6.25-rc6 the name changed to wlan0 and I do:
# airmon-ng stop wlan0
# ifconfig wlan0 down
# macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wlan0
# airmon-ng start wlan0

When I do the airmon-ng start wlan0 I get the following error message:
Interface       Chipset         Driver
wlan0           Ralink 2573 USB rt73usb - [phy0]

ERROR: Neither the sysfs interface links nor the iw command is available.
Please download and install iw from http://git.sipsolutions.net/iw.git

If I do a airmon-ng start rausb0 I don't get the error, but the packet injection test doesn't succeed.  I am using aircrack beta 2 version 1007

Can this please get fixed for 2.6.25?

Thanks,
