Nov 18, 2013 Re: Compat wireless patched for 3.8 & 3.9 « Reply #21 on: November 15, 2013, 06:34:50 AM » So, is this all you did to the kernel and drivers? That is very interesting. These instructions are of course well known and I applied them allways.
How to install Atheros AR8162 Ethernet drivers If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ by clicking the link above. You may have to register before you can post: click the register link above to proceed. To start viewing messages, select the forum that you want to visit from the selection below.

I posted a question earlier that got no traction regarding compiling the RTL8187 drivers for the infinity for use in backtrack for ARM.
I have since completed the compile and have successfully used the adapter I bought on the tablet with them. What is attached are the compiled compat-wireless drivers, specifically: compat-wireless-3.6.8-1-snpc.tar.bz2
They include the 'mac80211.compat08082009.wl_frag+ack_v1.patch' and the 'channel-negative-one-maxim.patch'
I am attaching them for those interested or who have a similar need. I am not interested in being bombarded with questions/complaints about it not working for them or whatever. I may post a tutorial later with the problems I ran across and how I compiled these drivers that may help others with different chipsets.
These drivers work successfully with BT5 for ARM on my infinity and an ebay RTL8187L chipset external USB wireless device. To see more ID's they might work check here for RTL8187 PCI ID's that compat-wireless drivers might work for: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/rtl8187
Once in backtrack you will need to MAKE SURE the built in wireless is turned off on the tablet then in terminal with SU:
rmmod bcmdhd.ko
You will have to have the compat-wireless package I referenced above downloaded and uncompress and run: make wlunload in the folder you uncompress it to.
This will get rid of cfg80211.ko rmmod would probably work for that too but I know this works.
Now insmod in the following order:
insmod eeprom_93cx6.ko
insmod compat.ko
insmod cfg80211.ko
insmod mac80211.ko
insmod rtl8187.ko
It can all be scripted, feel free to do so.
With your wireless device plugged in to USB run airmon-ng and you should see your card in the list.
You will have to of course reboot to re-enable the built-in wireless.
Enjoy!
