rt2570
It is highly recommended to use a enhanced and patched driver from http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/ instead of serialmonkey drivers.
ifconfig rausb0 down rmmod rt2570 wget http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/rt2570-k2wrlz-1.6.1.tar.bz2 tar -xvjf rt2570-k2wrlz-1.6.1.tar.bz2 cd rt2570-k2wrlz-1.6.1/Module make && make install modprobe rt2570
Make sure to load the driver with modprobe (not insmod).
Troubleshooting Tips
Note that this driver currently does not work on big endian systems, such as the PowerPC. Attempting to run “ifconfig rausb0 up” will cause ifconfig to use 100% CPU power, bringing your system to a crawl and never actually working.
There are reports of the aircrack-ng tools freezing and/or stop working.
Here are a few things to try:
- Try lowering injection rate
- Disable USB Legacy support in BIOS
- Use the newest kernel you can get
- Try to use a non SMP version of your kernel
- Use the newest 1.6.1 driver
- If the hardware totally loses its function: Use the oven method to get it back to life: http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/forum/index.php?topic=233.msg6371#msg6371
