Hi there,
i hope you guys can help me.
I wanted a new Wifi card, because mine has no injection, what i need sometimes.
So i forced the Internet to find that a 8187 would be best for. So i
bought the 8188 (newer = better?)... i never had thought about so much
difference in just one number... it was horrible to even get the card
work, first no monitor mode works, but now it does (i dunno why
O_o)... The only thing i miss is Package injection.
Well, your research should have shown that the 8187 chip is an 802.11g version,
while the 8188 works with 802.11n. That should have given you a clue that the
driver would be VERY different.
So my Question. Is it there? is it in the driver and i just have to do
some magic again like i did with the monitor mode?
If not, is there any Patch? (i didn't find anything...)
Or should i simply send the damn thing back and get me an 8187? (its
not that simple, and i like hacking into my linux, so one of the first
both, would be nicer)
What kernel are you using? If you want the latest version of wireless code, you
should be running the version found in the git repo at
git://git.infradead.org/users/linville/wireless-next.git. Your next-best option
would be to get the bleeding-edge version of compat-wireless and build it for
your current kernel.
There is a bug in rtlwifi that affects monitor mode in rtl8192cu, rtl8192ce,
rtl8192se, and rtl8192de. I think it is fixed by the attached patch. At least
monitor mode works here after the patch is applied. Please let me know if it
works for you.
