Arch Linux

so no way to use this key anymore on linux ? :-(

It appears that only supports a kernel < 2.6.29. With 2.6.30 mode monitor freezes the computer... with 2.6.31 it doesn't compile :(

Setting monitor mode freezes my computer too.

Am I the only one that suffers freezes trying to set rausb0 to monitor mode?

- updated kernel version
- .install included;)

##working rt73.install

post_install() {
depmod -ae
cat <<EOF
>>> Drivers installed, but not loaded. To enable it: 'rmmod rt73usb && modprobe rt73'
>>> Or use airdriver-ng, you can install it from AUR: 'aicrack-ng-svn'
EOF

}

post_upgrade() {
post_install $1
}

post_remove() {
/bin/true
}

op=$1
shift
$op $*

rt73.install is not in the tarball....

Error: rt73.install doesn't exist.

Is it missing or should it be removed from PKGBUILD?

Updated to new wersion, so now working:)
The binary wersion is in the official polish archlinux rpository: http://repo.arch-linux.pl

Done:) Merry Christmas:)

Pretty Please?

Please update the package build :-D

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rt73-cvs/rt73-cvs/rt73.install

==> ERROR: Install scriptlet (rt73.install) does not exist.
Error: Makepkg was unable to build rt73-k2wrlz package.

Error: unable to update rt73-k2wrlz

Yes;) updated:)

I think the MD5 sums need to be updated?

Package updated:)
The binary version is in my own repository:
http://repo.arch-linux.pl/

i made a new PKGBUILD for this driver compatible with kernel 2.6.27.* and it uses the newer driver version.

you can find the tarball here:

http://maci.satgnu.net/files/rt73-k2wrlz.tar.gz

and the binary package here:

http://maci.satgnu.net/files/rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.1-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz

dont forget to install the firmware else it might f$%& up some things

According to me the build doesn't work. To use the driver I have had to do to hand.
I have unloaded the module from the address found in the pkgbuild.
Later first we compile:
make
make install
Later we edit the file /etc/rc.conf this way:
MOD_BLACKLIST=(rt73usb) #deprecated
MODULES=(... ... rt73 ... ...)
and fine reboot.
To the reboot the card wi-fi will work!!

I have many problem with 3.0.0

How I compile 2.0.1?

I've tried to change pkgver in PKGBUILD but not work

updated to 3.0.0

This driver adds injection/monitor capabilities do RT73. But be aware, there is a known bug with kernel .24, after loading the driver you need to issue:

ifconfig <wlan> hw ether 00:11:11:11:11:11

And it will work.
(the mac number doest matter, just be sure to set one)
