This guide uses p_larbigs's drivers instead of the serialmonkey drivers because p_larbigs's are based off of the serialmonkey drivers, but have been already patched for Fragmentation Attacks and Injection, so you can utilize more features in Aircrack.
The wireless card I tested this on is an Alfa AWUS036S, the system I tested this on is a clean install of Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 with all updates as of 7/4/07.
Remove the old drivers
Code:
cd /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/ubuntu/wireless/
sudo rm -r rt2x00
sudo rm -r rt2x00-legacy/
Get the new drivers and install them
Download http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/rt73-k2wrlz-1.1.0.tar.bz2 and extract it to your desktop.
Code:
cd Desktop/rt73-k2wrlz-1.1.0/Module/
sudo make
sudo strip -S rt73.ko
(before 2.7MB after 242k)
sudo make install
Bring the device up
Code:
sudo ifconfig rausb0 up
The RT73 drivers do not support the network manager, so you need to remove it and install RutilT, which I like better anyways.
Download and install RutilT
Download http://cbbk.free.fr/bonrom/?download=RutilTv0.15.tar.gz and extract it to your desktop.
Code:
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev g++
cd Desktop/RutilTv0.15/
./configure.sh --launcher=external
sudo make
sudo make install
Remove network-manager
Code:
sudo apt-get remove network-manager
If you want rausb0 brought up when you start ubuntu
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
auto rausb0
iface rausb0 inet dhcp
If you want RutilT to start with Ubuntu
System>Preferences>Sessions>New>
Name:rutilt, Command:rutilt
If you don't want to see RutilT window every time Ubuntu starts up, inside RutilT check the box next to "Start hidden in tray".
*Just a note, you click on tray icon to show/hide the RutilT window.
Getting Kismet Configured
