Hi,

I installed Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat onto an IBM T22 Laptop with an EDIMax EW-7108PCg wireless LAN card. I installed and ran Aircrack-ng 1:1.1-1 and realised the following problems:-

Problems

1)
Code:
airdriver-ng installed
would report MODINFO errors that the RT2X00 range of drivers could not be found.

2)
Code:
airodump-ng wlan0 -c 6
would show a message that the fixed channel, in this case 6, was at -1.

3)
Code:
aireplay-ng -9 wlan0
would not report Packet Injection successful

4)
Code:
aireplay-ng -0 1 wlan0 ...
would fail to produce a handshake between a client and its AP, no matter how much data was collected. Related to problem 3, of course.

So, I found out that two fixes would have to be made. These are:-

Fixes

1) According to a forum post over at http://trac.aircrack-ng.org/ticket/702 there is an incorrect modules reference at line 2659 in /usr/sbin/airdriver-ng. Change that line to
Code:
if [ x"modinfo "$KMOD/$modfile" | grep "${DMODINFO[$1]}"" != x ]
2) Use a kernel between 2.6.30-x and 2.6.34-x. I added the Main repository for Lucid Lynx to my system and installed linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic. After a reboot and choosing that kernel to boot from, all of the above problems went away.
