Ubuntu Networking :: Install Patched Driver For AWUS036H?
Mar 8, 2011
I have scoured the web for every bit of information I can find regarding installing the ieee80211 patched driver for the realtek rtl8187, to use an Alfa AWUS036H for packet injection. Error after error after error, I have had no success, and all I can find is other people with the same setup having the same problems.
Assume I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 straight out the box, so no updates have yet been made. Is someone in the know willing to post some step by steps on how to download, install and patch the necessary driver and install necessary software, including precise info on how to blacklist or remove mac80211 version rtl8187.ko in order to replace it with the patched ieee80211 version?
I know there's a tutorial on here somewhere for installing rtl8187 in an older version of Ubuntu, and in that thread, the people with Ubuntu 10.10 all seem to be having the same problems.
i have ALFA AWUS036H 500mw wireless card which uses RTL8187L chipset. Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 come with preloaded rtl8187 driver but they DO NOT work for internet surfing. However they do work with aircrack suit for injecting etc. Specific problem is: They only work with really close ranged AP, anything far and you will have random disconnects or inability to connect. So basically its unstable compared to patched driver.
To get this alfa card working for internet access, the only way currently is to use any LInux distro with Kernel 2.6.30 and lower. Starting from Kernel 2.6.31 they have made some changes to net api structure which wont let you patch the driver with the patch available at aircrack website which is normally used to make this driver suitable for internet browsing. Refer to this thread for more info: [URL]... I am currently using backtrack 4 pre final but i was going to install kubuntu 9.04 till i recieved an email from realtek with a new driver that compiles in kernel 2.6.31. I tested it on Kubuntu 9.10 and it compiled fine but i could not make it run. Under NetworkManagement for Kubutnu, the problem is that it keeps asking for WEP key and gives me the message 'wlan4 failed to connect' instantly after i enter the key, so its possible that its not compatible with NetworkManagement. I havent tried it with wicd yet, it may work........
I have Ubuntu 9.10 and I am trying to get my ALFA network adapter to work. It shows a few wireless locations including my brother who lives beside me. He is going to let me use his internet on my laptop. His connection is opened and I can connect to it fine... but no sites load... I've tried about 4 other open networks that I picked up and the same thing... it sometimes loads the first page but then thats it... This is suppose to be the best network adapter on the market for under $100. I have a 5dBi ant and a 2.4ghz 6dBi ant.
Oh yea, I've tired this on two other ubuntu 9.10 desktops and 1 laptop and get the same thing... I am however able to connect to my wireless router and browser the internet... but I will not have internet much longer
This is wireless adapter: [URL]... USB/Detail.bok I have 2 AWUS036H Wireless USB adapter that uses the RTL8187 Chipset connected to a USB 2.0 Port. It is very slow when I try to go to websites or download anything using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. The max speed I can get out of it is 135 Kilobytes per second when downloading anything. But when I am on Windows I can max out 2.6 Megabytes per second. I have been trying to find a solution but have found none. When I look at the light on the wireless adapter and compare it to what it looks like on both Ubuntu and Windows. It seems that the wireless adapter light is dimmer on Ubuntu. So I was thinking it was txpower set very low. I changed it but no success on changing speed. I am using WPA2-PSK which obviously uses AES. I have also tested it while it is in WEP and when it is Open with no change in speed. Speed results Ubuntu 10.04: Speed results Windows 7: I changed the settings to Megabytes on those speed results.
I work for a firm of solicitors as the IT guy and I have been asked to assess the security of our network. I have recently bought an ALFA AWUS036H USB wireless adapter to help test the wireless networks. We have a few old devices that only run WEP, which I know from the start is bad. I'm trying to use the adapter with aircack. I issue the command:
[code]...
Now I set the adapter to channel 11 using airmon but running iwlist mon0 channel says the adapter is not running on any channel at all. Has anyone else experienced simular issues, and if so how was this resolved?
I have Ubuntu 10.04 (32 bits) and a wireless usb adaptor Alfa Network AWUS036H with Chipset Realtek 8187L. After a few minutes connected, the adaptor disconnects and I can't reconnect again. I search this forum but I'm not sure about what to do. Do I need to get and install another driver? I need to use the windows driver?
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit and I purchased a new ALFA AWUS036H wireless card. I would like to know if this "1Watt" wireless card is configured for full power. iwlist wlan0 txpower results:
wlan0 unknown transmit-power information. Current Tx-Power=27 dBm (501 mW). It appears to me that I should be able to increase the power. "iwpriv wlan0 highpower 1" does not work. Do I need to patch the new default driver that comes with Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit with the aircrack one following these directions:[URL]...? Monitor mode and a injection tests seem to work fine with the driver I have installed.
I have been using Linux for over a month and have gone through several books on it. My weak point in linux is system internals and the kernel, (which I am reading up on now). I am a computer scientist and so I am computer savvy, but have not had much experience until recently with linux. (I was a windows guy, but Ubuntu 10.10 has changed my opinion) I am trying to install drivers for the alfa networks wireless adapter AWUS036H. I followed their online manual and I didn't get very far. After looking at the error messages then I assume it is a kernel issue. Here is the error messages I get when I am trying to make the program:

My laptop was not hibernating using default kernle and uswsusp.So I decided to try tuxonice from ubuntu ppa. Now hibernation and suspend is working beautifully on my laptop. But I have few doubts in my mind, since now I am using patched kernel from ppa will it affect the overall stability of system ? What if there is any kernel related update from ubuntu will I receive that update ? What if new ubuntu version is release, can I upgrade without breaking my whole system ?
if I have a kernel that does not automatically update because I installed it from a deb, will I be missing out on important security updates or the like? I installed the 2.6.34 kernel because I wanted trim support, but am very concerned that I will miss something important.
I just installed starcraft 2 using playonlinux and wine. I was able to launch it once it finished the updates. I proceeded to amp up the graphics to ultra on everything. I did that then it crashed. i now can not seem to open it. Not through wine or on the desktop.
I grabbed a pacthed version of tomboy from this in order to use tomboy Task manager addin created by the same developers I guess. Well I managed with the
Code: ./autogen.sh and Code: ./configure scripts until I came up with a valid make file. I later ran Code:
Works fine in Windows 7 on this PC. It's a 2 week old Dell Studio 1749, with no after market software installed aside from Ubuntu (as a secondary OS). When I plug the USB adapter in, the computer locks up. Only while in Ubuntu though. Not sure what the deal is. Chipset is RealTek RTL8187. The adapter is new, fresh out of the box.
It's my first time trying out a Linux and everything is going great except for my networking. I just recently purchased a wireless usb adapter 802.11n and I tried to install the driver from the cd it came with, but when I read the readme file it said it only supports up to kernel versions 2.6.18 ~ 2.6.29. Since I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 my kernel type is 2.6.32.25. Does anyone know if there are any updated versions of similar drivers online? or do I have to return this wireless adapter and get a different one?
I've been trying to update my base RHEL 5.4 to a 5.4 + Security fixes. Is this possible or am I left to only upgrade from 5.4 up to the latest RHEL version?
Like, is there a way to update the packages in 5.4 (sshd, kernel, librairies...)but without upgrading to a different release?
I downloaded my linux wireless driver (realtek 8191se), but I don't know how to install it because there is no .exe file(like windows). It has a readme file which says :
"You can enter top-level directory of driver and execute follwing command to Compile, Installation, or uninstall the driver:
0. Change to Super User sudo su
1. Compile driver from the source code make
2. Install the driver to the kernel make install reboot"
I just upgraded ubuntu to 11.04 and I need to install the wireless driver again. I downloaded the driver and I am getting the following error when running make:
./kernelversion.c:13:30: fatal error: linux/utsrelease.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. Makefile.inc:81: *** Cannot detect kernel version - please check compiler and KERNELPATH. Stop.
Here's what I already installed on my laptop trying to get it fixed.
This may sound odd, but how does one report a patched file to a major dev team, like PHP? Sure, they have their bug report page, but the following bug hasn't even been reported. After a bit of googling, though, I found the solution.
As I learned from first hand experience, compiling php5-5.3.6, when ./configure --with-openssl, terminates like so code...
if one has openssl-1.0.0d installed. Apparently, OpenSSL dropped support for SSLv2 with said version, and php5-5.3.6 doesn't know what to do without it enabled.
Fortunately, the boys @ Debian figured it out & have patched xp_ssl.c previous to their latest php5-5.3.6-10.deb release, but how do you let the PHP devs know?
I have recently installed kubuntu 9.04 on my laptop. i then connected an ethernet cable and upgraded it to kubuntu 9.10. but i would like to connect to the internet using wireless. but i do not know how to install the windows wireless driver for my card on this OS. my card is: D-link AirPlus G DWL-g630.
I have been struggled with wireless connection. Here is the things... My room doesn't have moduler jack. So basically my landlord is sharing with his wifi. Also, my desktop is using Netgear wireless adapter for internet. My laptop and desktop are windows 7 which can conncet with internet very well. But my Linux Os in my desktop couldn't conncet. Recently I installed ubuntu because my co-worker told me ubuntu can be applied to connect with internet through wireless.
However, how can my ubuntu os get wireless connection without ethernet cable. Actually, my harddisk drive is multiple boot containing windows 7, Ubuntu, and Centos. Windows 7 can connect internet smoothly. But you know, Ubuntu and Centos can't do nothing. So I am stacking this situation not to connect internet through Linux OS right now.
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my PC last weekend. Other than the fact I had no sound (that's another story...), everything went fine. I then got prompted to install nvidia graphic drivers. Since I installed them and rebooted, i cannot get acces to my ethernet connection. I tried the solutions listed here, but none worked. Also, when i boot on my windows OS, the Internet is working properly. I tried tonight re-installing Ubuntu 10.04. I thought if the graphic caused problem, maybe a new blank installation would just do it.
I am trying to install this driver in ubuntu 10.10 for a week. I am getting this error when I type {sudo make}

This is the last driver in ralink website. The built-in driver works but don't recognize my chipset and i wanna install this driver. My URL card is levelone wua-0603 usb [URL].
I am trying to install usb wireless network card drivers on to lucid. I didnt think i was soo much a noob but it has come apparent to me now.Anyway when i use 'sudo make' i get errors that i do not understand.
Everytime I want to active it I got the following: installation of this driver failed. have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log I don't know if this is related to Software Sources, I only have Canonical Partners and Independent. I installed Ubuntu 11.04 from an ISO file and used the whole disk
