Hi peops
thx for all youre responses!
Well i didnt really thought about g and n -.-
Im using the latest 8192cu driver from Realtek now, it works just
fine. Also monitor mode works like a charm (yes if i use airmon-ng for
it). My Kernel is (now the default) Arch kernel, on Linux Version
3.0.4
My last problem is the Package injection. Im surprised you are
thinking it could work (ive found many resources that say something
different, but hey its an OpenSource driver ;)
Well, I tested with Packetspammer and it worked. As in many cases, the
resources that say otherwise are wrong.
Pls excuse my "stupidness" but im really not sure if i am using
"mac80211", i think so, its leaded in the System.
The drivers for most devices without a hardware MAC use mac80211 and
friends. In fact, it is a prerequisite for getting a driver included in the
mainline drivers/net/wireless/ tree. If the driver implements its own MAC
layer, then it resides in drivers/staging/. Yes, it is loaded on your
system, and it handles a lot of things for the drivers that use it.
And yes its Aircrack im trying to work with, and its Aircrack which
tells me i cant use Packet Injection.
I will try Packetspammer as soon as i am at home. If this works i have
to contact Aircrack, am i right?
If Aircrack adds the socket method used by Packetspammer, it will work with
nearly every driver in the kernel that supports monitor mode. Whether they
want to do that will be their decision, of course.
As a former Aircrack developer, I can definitely state that Aircrack
uses the same injection method as packetspammer.
However, Realtek's r8192cu driver will never support injection, and it
is not a mac80211 driver. Look for a driver whose module name begins
with "rtl" (not just "r"). AFAIK one is included in recent kernels.
I accepted his word that Aircrack does not work. He is using the mac80211 driver
rtl8192cu, which was introduced in 2.6.39. The driver in
drivers/staging/rtl8192u/ is for a different device.
