Compiling "compat-wireless" drivers

[joblafors]

Hello, so I managed to compile drivers, but when im trying to load it I get "FATAL: Module rt2x00 not found.". Could someone take a look am I doing something wrong? I'm fighting this problem for 2 days now, and managed to get this far, just the last step.

Now run:

sudo make unload to unload all: wireless, bluetooth and ethernet modules
sudo make wlunload to unload wireless modules
sudo make btunload to unload bluetooth modules

Run sudo modprobe driver-name to load your desired driver.
If unsure reboot.

home@home-desktop:~/Desktop/compat3.5/compat-wireless-3.5-rc3-1$ sudo modprobe rt2x00
FATAL: Module rt2x00 not found.

rt2x00 is the name of a whole family of drivers; you want the specific driver name. Please try:

sudo modprobe rt61pci

Post back if you need additional guidance.

Thank you, it seems I'm step further, now I get:

home@home-desktop:~/Desktop/compat3.5/compat-wireless-3.5-rc3-1$ sudo modprobe rt61pci

[chili555]

Would you please try a reboot so we have a clean slate? Then do:

sudo modprobe rt61pci
dmesg | grep rt6

Why did you decide to compile these drivers? Why didn't the built-in rt61pci work for you?

[joblafors]

After reboot:

home@home-desktop:~$ sudo modprobe rt61pci
[sudo] password for home:
WARNING: Error inserting rt2x00pci (/lib/modules/3.2.0-25-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00pci.ko): Invalid argument

And nothing in "/var/log//dmesg" about rt6 : (

[chili555]

Why did you decide to compile these drivers? Why didn't the built-in rt61pci work for you? Also, why did you compile this bleeding edge, go fast version instead of the latest daily build?

compat-wireless-3.5-rc3-1

In fact, why not just install the backports modules right out of Synaptic; essentially Ubuntu-ized compat-wireless?

[joblafors]

I want to set up my card to work in AP mode. And there is some sort of bug with channel showing up as -1 so I have to patch the drivers.

[chili555]

Sorry, I can't help. I know nothing about aircrack and we don't support it here. I suggest you ask them.

[joblafors]

I managed to fix this.
I downloaded one version older "compat-wireless-3.4-rc3-1" and compiled all the drivers, then installed and they worked.
Thank you chili555 for all your help.
