This driver has been incorporated into kernel since 2.6.26.

-Currently as of writing, there are no patches for injection and it is generally recommended for the user to have kernel version 2.6.28 or better.+Injection patches are available but you will need to patch it against the mac80211 stack and recompile the driver. It is recommended that you have at least kernel 2.6.28 or above as p54 may have issues recognising firmware properly.
  
 More information on how to get the driver working can be found at [[http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/p54]]. If you have difficulty understanding what filename should the firmware be named as for it to work, once you plug the device in, check the last few lines of dmesg or /var/log/messages for information. More information on how to get the driver working can be found at [[http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/p54]].
