Mac80211

Mac80211 is the new wireless stack of the Linux kernel. It is included in the kernel since 2.6.22, but drivers are only included since 2.6.24.

The following drivers use mac80211 (not all have been tested to work with aircrack-ng):

acx1xx (Acx)
adm8211 (ADMtek)
at76_usb (Atmel)
ath5k (Atheros A/B/G/Super-G)
ath9k (Atheros xspaN)
b43 and b43legacy (Broadcom)
iwl3945 (not to be confused with ipw3945/ipwraw)
iwlagn (formerly iwl4965)
libertas_tf (Marvell Libertas)
p54 (PrismGT in SoftMAC mode, but also supports FullMAC cards)
rt2x00 (includes rt2400pci, rt2500pci, rt2500usb, rt61pci and rt73usb)
rtl8180 (not to be confused with r8180 AKA r8180-sa2400, also supports RTL8185 cards)
rtl8187 (not to be confused with r8187 - RTL8187B supported in 2.6.27+)
zd1211rw (starting with 2.6.25)
In general, these drivers will mostly work with aircrack-ng, but there may be exceptions. Here is a list of drivers (with appropriate patches) that people have reported as working successfully with the aircrack-ng suite:

acx1xx (Acx)
ath5k
b43 and b43legacy (Broadcom)
iwl3945
iwlagn
rt73usb
rtl8180
rtl8187
zd1211rw (no fragmentation attack support)

ALFA-­AWUS036H & ALFA-­AWUS050NH INSTALLING/UPDATING DRIVERS RTL8187, r8187, RT2800usb on UBUNTU

NOTE: For surfing Internet with ALFA-AWUS050NH on Ubuntu Jaunty with rt2870sta driver, you must use the Kernel "2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu", without change or updates the drivers modules. NOTE: The tutorial is not related to Ubuntu karmic. Driver RTL8187/Stacks-­mac80211 (ref. ALFA-­AWUS036h) ­- These drivers, for surfing Internet, are more stable than r8187, and fully compatible with Network-Manager 0.7 installed by default on Ubuntu 9.04. Network-Manager 0.7 installed by default on Ubuntu 9.04. ­- Supports all encryption without problems. (OPEN, WEP and WPA/WPA2) ­- With Compat-Wireless, the "injection" working, but for support “Fragmentation attack” (opt. -5) you need to install one patch. - The RX sensitivity and packets injection is less, related to drivers r8187. Driver r8187/Stacks-ieee80211 (ref. ALFA-AWUS036h) - This driver is recommended for use with the Suite of Aircrack-ng, but not particularly suitable for Internet connections, as less stable and disc...

Packetforge-ng

The purpose of packetforge-ng is to create encrypted packets that can subsequently be used for injection. You may create various types of packets such as arp requests, UDP, ICMP and custom packets. The most common use is to create ARP requests for subsequent injection. To create an encrypted packet, you must have a PRGA (pseudo random genration algorithm) file. This is used to encrypt the packet you create. This is typically obtained from aireplay-ng chopchop or fragmentation attacks.
