NoahC Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) did you try compiling your own linux kernel from kernel.org Edited February 9, 2013 by NoahC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khaotic57 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 The only place I was able to find those drivers was on backtrack forums. This might help you out. http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forums/showthread.php?t=56257 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telot Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Try powering the nha with a powered usb hub. Made the difference for me... telot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haroo Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 i tried with a usb powered hub but i will try again with the ac adaptor on the hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haroo Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 use the ac adaptor to power the hub instead of my usb power cable for it and it made no difference at all in ubuntu. it works fine in windows. just not in ubuntu 12.04. im going to download a different distro and try it but i really didnt want to.

telot Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 It works for me with a powered hub (plugged in) and backtrack 5 r3. Pops right up! You probably know this, but it hasn't been mentioned - run ifconfig wlanX up (wlan1 if you have an inbuilt wifi card, wlan0 if you don't). telot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infiltrator Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 You need to download and install the Compat Wireless drivers, it should work for your Ubuntu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
