-- I don't want udev persistent rules on my cards... Code:

mv /lib/udev/write_net_rules ~ mv /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ~

-- Unplug AWUS036NHR and any other if present Code:

reboot

-- Test it: (I have two wlan, wlan1 is ALFA AWUS036NHR, wlan0 is the one I'll use to determine which attacks it supports) Code:

iwconfig

-- Plug in AWUS036NHR Code:

iwconfig airmon-ng check kill airmon-ng start wlan0 airmon-ng start wlan1 (just to be shure it works even in monitor mode) aireplay-ng -9 -i mon0 wlan1

--I get: Trying broadcast probe requests... No Answer... Found 0 APs

Trying card-to-card injection… Attack -0: OK Attack -1 (open): OK Attack -1 (psk): OK Attack -2/-3/-4/-6: OK Attack -5/-7: OK Injection is working!

Enjoy…

Note: I’ve edited with latest compat-wireless version and added linux-headers with a link to Module.symvers, it was needed: Code: WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.39.4/Module.symvers is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions. feel free to check if it is ok

Note2: After this upgrade, “FRITZ!WLAN USB STICK N”, (based on Atheros AR9170 Chipset, using carl9170 driver) stop load his firmware. So.. download newer “carl9170-1.fw” (now is 1.9.4) from here http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/carl9170 in “/lib/firmware” and it will load
