[SOLVED] Make errors

[Harlekin]

Hello guys and welcome to my debut on this board...
Since I'm posting on the newbie board it's quite obvious I'm not very familiar with linux (kind of self-explanatory?) but also English isn't my native language, so please try to be patient with me, even if it may be hard
After a few hours spend on google and various boards, I finally decided to ask for help, so here I go.

My goal: Getting aircrack to work.
(I'm familiar with the legal issues, I intend to use it solely within my own network)

My problem is: I'm trying to 'make' a patched driver but keep getting errors.
(By the way I got similar errors for nearly all things I tried to 'make' so far...)

The driver is called rtl8180-0.21.
The patch is the respective one from from Index of /

This is the I/O when I run make in the driver's main directory:

spartan-117@ReachComplex-Mainframe:~/Desktop/rtl8180-0.21$ make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/build SUBDIRS=/home/spartan-117/Desktop/rtl8180-0.21 modules

I'd really appreciate any help you can give me on this topic, so thanks in advance,

Welcome to the forums.
This is about the only thing I could find for you. Could be helpful or not.
J!NX Forums - compile error on an r8180 patch
Try this newbie guide.
newbie_guide [Aircrack-ng]

[Harlekin]

I tried the aircrack newbie_guide before and it said to do the following:

ifconfig wlan0 down
rmmod r8180
wget SourceForge.net: Downloading ...
wget http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/rtl8180-0.21v2.patch
tar -xvzf rtl8180-0.21.tar.gz
cd rtl8180-0.21
patch -Np1 -i ../rtl8180-0.21v2.patch
make && make install
depmod -a
modprobe r8180

On my machine, the whole process stops after I run 'make' and gives the beforementioned errors.
I guessed this may be a problem unrelated to aircrack, because I'm experiencing said errors when I try to make other sourcecode, too.

Thanks anyway, maybe the other link gives a hint to more experienced people, I can't really to use the information given there.

More than probably, this driver will only work with concrete versions of the kernel. It seems pretty much unmaintained.

I know it's not what you were asking for, but, however, there's a new driver for rtl8180 on the newer kernels (since 2.6.25 or so, I think). You can try that.

Some people also use ndiswrapper with success.

This thread about the issue on the Gentoo forums might be useful for you:

Gentoo Forums :: View topic - wlan rtl8180 with 2.6.25-gentoo-r1

I hope this info helps in some way.

[Harlekin]

What do you mean by concrete kernel version?

The thing is, I apparently need this specific (patched) driver to get aircrack to work with my usb wlan stick because the driver I'm using atm doesn't support "packet injection"...
(Normal wireless connection works just fine)
A sure solution would be a new wlan device, known to work with aircrack but I'd like to go for less drastic solutions first...

[Harlekin]

Problem solved, I simply was trying to use rtl8180 drivers for a rtl8187 chipset wlan stick...
Sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused.
So long,
Harle
