Aircrack for Atheros AR5007EG
by Jiang on Apr.13, 2008, under Computing
Many people have had trouble getting their Atheros AR5007EG wireless devices to work on Linux, let alone getting it to inject data. There is a patch floating around on madwifi.org that allows operation on i386 machines using the MadWifi-ng driver.
I decided to take it a step further by applying the Aircrack-ng patch over the basic AR5007EG patch. Amazingly, it does work, and it works very well. I put the source package up for download here. Just unpack, make, and make install.
Remember, this is for 32-bit systems only. It enables support for the AR5007EG device and allows injection. With injection support, Aircrack-ng is a fun tool to try, as well as Airpwn. Stay legal and enjoy!
June 15, 2008: Cross-platform support is in the works! This is good news for owners of non-i386 systems.
July 29, 2008: This patch is now obsolete! Please refer to newer information.

@DragonKnight:
It’s a .tgz, so just use any tool that handles tar-gzip files. 7-Zip and WinZip both work. On *nix, it’s just “tar zxvf file.tgz”. If you want to apply the patch yourself, instructions can be found on aircrack-ng.org.
What kind of errors are you getting? You might be too far away from the access point. Experiment on your own network first, and refer to aircrack-ng.org for more information. I hope you’re not trying this on Windows, because there is little or no support under Windows.
Good luck!
