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)

Creating A Cheap Bluetooth Sniffer

Many papers and posts on internet forums have commented on the success of turning normal everyday bluetooth USB dongles ($10), into their more powerful counterparts that allow the capturing of packets from the airwaves. These more powerful USB dongles are usually sold at a much higher price ($10,000) together with the software to drive and control these devices. The problems associated with BlueTooth sniffing You cant simply just purchase the dongle with the alternate firmware. There is next to no real opensource packet capture program for the bluetooth protocol. Hardware & Limitations Chipsets: Whats the difference? The chipset of the Bluetooth USB Dongles are very important. Broadcom chipsets are cheap hardware and are deemed unsuitable devices for this paper. But unfortunalty nowadays, every manufacturer seems to prefer putting these chips in their products compared to the more reliable Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR) chipset. If your lucky enough to find a dongle with a CSR chips...

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...
