Building R8187 driver (Aircrack-ng compatible) for Kernel 2.6.34

Instructions for building r8187 driver on Kernel 2.6.34

$ wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1522424/rtl8187_2.6.34.patch
$ unzip rtl8187_linux_26.1010.zip
$ cd rtl8187_linux_26.1010.0622.2006
$ tar xzf drv.tar.gz
$ tar xzf stack.tar.gz
$ patch -Np1 -i ../rtl8187_2.6.34.patch
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo rmmod r8187 rtl8187 mac80211 cfg80211
$ sudo modprobe r8187
Testing: Alfa AWUS036H works fine in Aircrack-ng and Kismet.

1) Configure your kernel to support mac80211. ( make menuconfig, / for 80211 ).

2) Get and installer ndiswrapper from here.

3) Now follow instructions given here.

Some commands for testing:

ifconfig
iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
iwconfig wlan0 enc off
iwlist wlan0 scan

NOTES:

0) WG111V3 uses the RTL8187B chipset which is not supported natively on Linux.

lsusb shows: Bus 001 Device 010: ID 0846:4260 NetGear, Inc.

FCC ID is: PY3063000xx

1) ndiswrapper 1.51 is broken on 2.6.24-rc series , so use ndiswrapper from trunk if you have to.

2) check http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/wg111v3.asp for driver updates.

3) For best results use Win98/ME drivers.

4) Also monitor mode is not supported on ndiswrapper driver, so you can’t use airodump-ng.
