Last time I tried, Aircrack-ng worked with ath5k/mac80211, the opensource kernel-based driver for this chipset. Madwifi-ng supposedly works better.

hey, are there any Atheros AR5007EG drivers or patches that I can use for Aircrack to support injection? I’m running on Linux, but there doesn’t seem to be anything that will work for this *particular* card. Seems like there’s support for every *other* card, though. Any patches?

You are the man! This noob spent 2 days trying to install drivers. and when I finally figured it out, Aireplay wouldn’t work because I never patched it. This walkthrough is amazing, I wish it had been the first item on my Google search.

By the way, if the links are outdated, just use your browser to check out the http and then adjust the filename and directory accordingly.

Also, for noobs like myself, you can just download the file into the madwifi directory with “wget”(drop “-O – | patch -Np1″). Then, when you’re in the directory, use ” patch -N -p 0 -i madwifi-ng-r3925.patch”

Again, adjust filename accordingly if newer patch.

Then follow my man’s ingenious guide and done!

Hi Jiang Yio,

Very good instructions on AR5007 but —

I am VERY new to Linux and am unable to get my AR5007 wifi working with Ubuntu NBR in an Acer One.

Trying to understand your programing but get confused at the new driver building step ” installing build-essential and linux-headers-generic ” — is there more code needed or do I just input ” make clean && make ” at the terminal for this step?

Could you even simplify your very good instructions even further ( ie baby step by step )for a Linux DUMMY like me?

Appreciate if you could email me back at larry.mari@gmail.com

Thank you for your patience and help !!

I get this error when patching.

patching file ath/if_ath.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 2950.
Hunk #2 succeeded at 3015 (offset 52 lines).
Hunk #3 succeeded at 3040 (offset 52 lines).
1 out of 3 hunks FAILED — saving rejects to file ath/if_ath.c.rej

Do I need a new patch? I followed the instructions exactly.

Thanks

Though it is unsupported, Aircrack-ng does work on Windows. Please have a look at the documentation. You might want to boot into Linux for this, as you'd be able to work much more efficiently.
