rtl8187 [2008/07/14 15:40] – This page was intentionally titled "r8187" originally - rtl8187 is the mac80211 driver, so don't talk about the legacy driver here. netrolller3drtl8187 [2017/01/09 21:35] (current) – Mark page as deprecated. mister_x

 +
 +====== rtl8187 - Realtek RTL8187L/RTL8187B mac80211 driver ======
 +
 +The rtl8187 driver is a FOSS mac80211 driver for RTL8187L and RTL8187B. Rtl8187 is part of the official Linux kernel. Starting with 2.6.27, this driver is supported by aircrack-ng.
 +
 +To use the driver with aircrack-ng, it's recommended that you apply the following patch:
 +  * 2.6.28: [[http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/rtl8187-mac80211-injection-speed-2.6.28-rc6.patch]]
 +  * 2.6.29 and up: [[http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/mac80211-2.6.29-fix-tx-ctl-no-ack-retry-count.patch]] (this should also fix [[p54]])
 +  * wireless-testing/compat-wireless: No patch needed, fixed upstream.
 +
 +In addition, apply the latest [[mac80211]] [[http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/mac80211_2.6.28-rc4-wl_frag+ack_v3.patch|frag+ack patch]].
 +
 +If you have r8187/r8187b installed, don't forget to blacklist it before using this driver.
 +
 +Just a reminder that if you are using the Compat-Wireless version, then only the fragmentation is required since the other changes are already included.  This [[http://forum.aircrack-ng.org/index.php?topic=5755.0|forum posting]] provides an excellent description of how to install the compat-wireless software.
