So I have a little predicament. I installed Linux just a while ago, so you could say I'm somewhat new~ although I'm familiar with sh and unix..........anyhoo!
I have read and re-read bunches of posts on this forum and Backtrack's forums (the 2 linux disros I installed)
I have 1 goal - to have a wireless card that works in Ubuntu that can connect to the internet AND packet inject with Aircrack
I have a Dell M1330
In Ubuntu my Intel 4965 card (built in) works with the built in wireless manager, but aircrack does not support this card, and won't be supporting it for a while it seems.
So, I have internet with that card, but no injection or even monitor mode.
In Backtrack, I boot up and that card can not inject, but can monitor, and can connect to internet
In Ubuntu, my WG111v2 USB card does not work at all. I get:
[ 3038.452000] usb 7-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9
[ 3038.588000] usb 7-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

[ 3038.648000] rtl8187: Unknown symbol ieee80211_rts_duration
out of the dmesg command
The WG111v2 does not work at all. Ubuntu will not even recognize it as a wireless device.
So, Backtrack fully supports this card for injection and connection~ it works great all around.
My question: why the heck should I have to use some crazy thirdparty program like ndiswrapper just to get my WG111v2 working when it works fine in another Linux Distro? Plus, even if I do use ndiswrapper, packet injection seems like it will not work...........ahhhhhhh!
I like Ubuntu for it's interface and compatibility with my system, but when it comes the WG111v2 it seems like I'll never get packet injection working within Ubuntu.........I know the simple answer is to just boot into Backtrack...........but who wants to do things simple ;)
Anyway~! Thanks for any information you can give!
