My TP-LINK TL-322G doesn't work

[Scrubru]

I try to do wireless man-in-the middle attack with my ASUS laptop and I've alreay got two wlan adaptors, a built-in Atheros NE-785H and a TP-LINK TL-W322G USB wireless adaptor. Either of them is to act as a rogue access point (soft AP). The biult-in adaptor works well but I just can't get the TP-LINK working properly.

I have alreay visited the threads below

I'm running Karmic with 2.6.31-19, according to the Ubuntu help page it should work out of the box, but it just wouldn't work for me. I only got it working with ndiswrapper, which is clearly not what I want to use since it's not supported by aircrack-ng. Any ideas?

Here are results after running modprobe -v zd1211rw

WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release.
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.31-19-generic/updates/cw/zd1211rw.ko

then lsmod | grep zd

dmesg | grep zd1211

ifconfig shows that there are only three interfaces: lo, eht0, wlan0. The USB wireless adaptor was identified as wlan1 using ndiswrapper.

Where is the TP-Link? I see the Atheros and your webcam, but nothing that seems like a second wireless device.

I plugged it in, but nothing happened. There should be a red light flashing if it is working.

[chili555]

Is it defective? Does it work on other computers, or at least show up in lsusb?

[Scrubru]

No, it doesn't work for my desktop computer either. It works pretty well under Windows XP though ( with the driver installed ).

The atheros that shows up in lsusb is the very TP-LINK I've plugged in. I've done lsusb once again with the TP-LINK detached, it's like this

Note that there is no Atheros.
