Hello Larry,
thanks for the quick reply! Yes I know this version is a bit older, but when I
use the newest compat-wireless (eg.
http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2011-10-07.tar.bz2)
the driver loads but some features like monitor-mode and packet injection
doesn't work. The listing of available networks (with airodump) doesn't work
too. Usually I have 13 channels because I live in Germany but if I use the
newest driver I have only 11 channels. But if I use the older compat-wireless
package all works fine.
The difference between 11 and 13 channels depends on your CRDA settings. Do you
have that package installed? Check the output of dmesg to see what domain is
being set. If you have CRDA installed, then you can force the use of Germany in
the domain by creating a file named /etc/modprobe.d/50-cfg80211.conf containing
a single line with "options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=DE" (without the quote marks).
You can get a list of available networks using iwconfig or iw. I know those work.
As I do not test, support, nor condone packet injection, I cannot speak to it
working on any driver.
