Introdução

IMPORTANTE:

Essa seção lida com as três áreas relacionadas:

  • Compatibilidade de chipsets com o pacote Aircrack-ng
  • Quais drivers são necessários para cada tipo de chipset e sistema operacional
  • Quais placas wireless são conhecidas por funcionar com o pacote Aircrack-ng

Determine o chipset

Existem dois fabricantes envolvidos em placas wireless. O primeiro é a marca da própria placa. Exemplos de fabricantes de placas são Netgear, Ubiquiti, Linksys e D-Link. Existem vários, vários fabricantes além dos exemplos dados aqui.

O segundo fabricante é aquele que faz o chipset wireless dentro da placa. Essa é a empresa mais importante a saber. Infelizmente, às vezes é o mais difícil pra determinar. Isso por que fabricantes de placas geralemtne não querem revelar o que eles usam dentro das suas placas. Entretanto, para os nossos objetivos, é essencial saber o fabricante do chipset wireless. O conhecimento do fabricante da placa wireless permite você determinar quais sistemas operacionais têm suporte, drivers de software que você precisa e quais limitações são associadas a eles. A seção compatibilidade lista os sistemas operacionais suportados e as limitações separados por chipset.

Você primeiro precisa determinar qual chipset wuireless sua placa usa. Isso pode ser feito por uma ou mais destas técnicas:

  • Procurar na internet por “<seu modelo de placa> chipset” ou “<seu modelo de placa> linux”. Com uma certa freqüência você pode encontrar referências de qual chipset sua placa usa e/ou experiências de outras pessoas.
  • Procurar no Forum
  • Você pode também dar uma olhada nos nomes de arquivos dos drivers do windows, é quase sempre o nome do chipset ou o driver a usar.
  • Verifique mais tarde nesta página por placas conhecidas por funcionarem com o aicrack-ng.
  • Verifique a página do fabricante da placa. De vez em quando eles dizem qual chipset eles utilizam.
  • Dê uma olhada na saída do comando lspci -vv no linux.


Aqui estão alguns outros recursos para assistí-lo em determinar qual chipset você tem:

Determine o driver

Once you have determined the chipset, check the driver section for which software driver you need. Software drivers connect the operating system to the hardware. The drivers are different for each operating system. There are also notes regarding limitations.

If you are deciding on which card to purchase, check the “Which is the best card to buy?” section on this page. There are many considerations that should go into your purchase decision:

  • Hardware compatibility with your existing equipment.
  • Price and availability of the card.
  • Availability of software drivers for your particular operating system and intended use of the software.
  • How active is development for the software drivers you need.
  • How much peer support and documentation is available for the card and software drivers.

It is not an easy decision to make. By considering these factors, it will help you make a more informed decision on what to purchase.

Which is the best card to buy ?

Atheros Chipset Comments

The best chipset nowadays is Atheros. It is very well supported under Linux, and also under Windows. Neither support any USB wireless devices. The latest madwifi-ng patch makes it possible to inject raw 802.11 packets in either in Managed and Monitor mode at arbitrary b/g speeds.

The madwifi-ng compatability list is an excellent way to determine if a card is compatible with the aircrack-ng suite. Atheros, the chipset manufacturer, also has a web page that enables you to lookup chipsets for products incorporating their designs.

The madwifi-ng driver is used for the atheros chipsets. This driver does not support any USB atheros devices. However, Atheros acquired Zydas which makes USB chipsets (zd1211 and zd1211b). Atheros has renamed this chipset to AR5007UG. The AR5007UG chipset is NOT supported by the madwifi-ng driver and is not a recommended chipset.

Ralink makes some nice b/g chipsets, and has been very cooperative with the open-source community to release GPL drivers. Packet injection is now fully supported under Linux on PCI/CardBus RT2500 cards, and also works on USB RT2570 devices. However, these cards are very temperamental, hard to get working, and have a tendency to work for a while then stop working for no reason. Furthermore, the RT2570 driver (such as that for the chipset inside the Linksys WUSB54Gv4) is currently unusable on big endian systems, such as the PowerPC. Cards with Ralink chipsets should not be your first choice.

There is one exception with regards to the Ralink chipsets. This is the RT73 chipset. There are excellent drivers with high injection rates for the RT73 chipset. Devices with the RT73 chipsets are recommended.

Realtek RTL8187L Chipset Comments

Cards containing the Realtek RTL8187L chipset work quite well and is recommended. The driver patch for this chipset has been continuously improved and quite good at this point in time. The Alfa AWUS036H is a very popular card for use with the aircrack-ng suite.

Notes:

  1. See this link link to determine the revision. It is very likely that other revisions will work with Windows and Linux. However, this is unconfirmed.
  2. There are some cheaper models with a similar name (WG511 and DWL-G520+); those cards are not Atheros-based. Also, the Peek driver does not support recent Atheros cards, so you'll have to use CommView WiFi instead.

ExpressCard to PCMCIA/Cardbus Adapters

New laptops now normally come with ExpressCard slots. The current problem is that there are not a lot of ExpressCard wireless cards which are compatible with the aircrack-ng suite. However, ExpressCard to PCMCIA/Cardbus adapters have appeared in the market.

The question has always been “Will these adapters work correctly with the aircrack-ng suite”. There has been at least one success story. Read this thread for the details.

If you try any adapters, please post your findings (good or bad) to the forum. This is very important so that everyone can benefit from the experiences of others.

The is a list of adapters that people have reported as working successfully:
