Okay, we all know aircrack from debian etch works, but it's old. We also know injection requires a build environment, kernel sources, and loads of other fun. I made this and just got to test it on a newly recovered Eee pc. Not by choice, but that's another story. Simply put -- Never use Paragon's partition resizer on your ext2 filesystem!

  • Download http://scottn.us/aircrack-1.0b2+madwifi-r3366+ar5007.tgz
  • Open a console with CTRL+ALT+T
  • Execute: sudo bash
  • Execute: cd / ; tar vfxz /home/user/aircrack.tgz [make sure to do from /]
  • Execute: modprobe -r ath_pci wlan_scan_sta wlan
  • Execute: mv /lib/modules/2.6.21.4-eeepc/atheros ~ [move old stuff to home directory as backup]
  • Execute: depmod -a
  • Execute: modprobe ath_pci

That should be it.

I'd have made a self installing .deb but like I said, my Eee PC died before I completely finished my work. Hope this gets some people up and running a lot faster!

A quick HOWTO: airmon-ng stop ath0 airmon-ng start wifi0 aireplay-ng -9 ath0

You should get an "Injection is working!" somewhere in there :)

I was going to fix the RTC stuff, but like I said my filesystem became dead before I finished my work...
