Hello,
I am trying to teach my students why WEP is not to be used any more. U=
sing the BackTrack 3 beta, a 2.6.22 kernel, and a non mainline driver f=
or my ralink wireless card everything worked great. When my wireless c=
ard was supported in mainline 2.6.24 I gave it a try and found support =
was pretty bad, but the authors knew it and were working on it. I am n=
ow trying 2.6.25-rc6 to see if thing improved and I am sorry to say the=
y haven't. I use the following commands (these commands work in 2.6.22=
) to get things started:
# airmon-ng stop rausb0
# ifconfig rausb0 down
# macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 rausb0
# airmon-ng start rausb0
# aireplay-ng -9 rausb0
In 2.6.25-rc6 the name changed to wlan0 and I do:
# airmon-ng stop wlan0
# ifconfig wlan0 down
# macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wlan0
# airmon-ng start wlan0
When I do the airmon-ng start wlan0 I get the following error message:
Interface Chipset Driver
wlan0 Ralink 2573 USB rt73usb - [phy0]
ERROR: Neither the sysfs interface links nor the iw command is availabl=
e.
Please download and install iw from http://git.sipsolutions.net/iw.git
If I do a airmon-ng start rausb0 I don't get the error, but the packet =
injection test doesn't succeed. I am using aircrack beta 2 version 100=
7
Can this please get fixed for 2.6.25?
Thanks,

This is probably due to udev. Look for a file with a name like
"/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules" -- the actual name may
vary by distribution.
Hth!

The kernel works fine, airmon-ng relies on iw.

Have you considered reading the error message?

OK. I wasn't aware that airmon-ng relies on iw now. Is there a tar.gz=
that I can download?
However this still doesn't explain why rausb0 still works when it shoul=
d be wlan0.

Yes I did check the website listed, but I didn't see anything there tha=
t would explain how to use the website, or fix the problem. I don't kn=
ow how to use git. I am just an enduser testing the kernel. This of c=
ourse begs the question of why is the kernel dependent on something tha=
t is not in mainline to work properly?
Thanks,
