RTL 8185 injection patch
So i've managed to find linux drivers for an RTL8185. What patch can I use (if any) to get it to inject packets? And, *has* anybody actually gotten a RTL8185 to work with aircrack suite? I'm trying to do a triple boot (Windows XP/Ubuntu/Backtrack3) and i'll try to get it running under BT3 first. If not i'll give Ubuntu a try ..
If I manage, which might take very long (haven't used linux in ages) I will post a step-by-step here for my particular scenario.
