I am looking for any wi-fi adapters which are compatable with aircrack. I came to know that Alfa AWUS036H is excellent in terms of performance but it has so many issues with regard to drop packets. Is this true? has anyone used it?
Any informatio on this is appreciated.
Thanks.
EDIT: I am looking for adapters compatable for packet injection
The issue you are referring to is not just a drop packet issue. The injection mode driver on the linux side doesn't handle association properly. The solution - don't use the same driver for normal traffic and injection. Alfa cards work for EITHER injection through the ieee stack OR regular use through the 802.11 stack. Something else to remember is that USB throughput is limited and you have to send control commands and data. If you are using the right driver for the right thing and you still get high drops, move the usb to a dedicated controller and see what happens. – RobotHumans – 2011-04-30T12:42:14.300
