Reaver on Ubuntu 12.04 w/ backports & 13.04 completely fails; 12.04 fine. (AWUS036H & Thinkpad T6xp) #554

Reaver 1.4 on Ubuntu 12.04 (and 13.04) 64-bit, fully updated.  Laptop: Thinkpad 
T61p and T60p (same behavior).  Wireless device: Alfa AWUS036H.  

Wash & Reaver work fine on 12.04 with this device.  Neither works at all on 
13.04.  Returning to 12.04, I installed compat-wireless from the ubuntu repo's:

linux-backports-modules-cw-3.8-precise-generic

(which installed)

linux-backports-modules-cw-3.8-3.2.0-52-generic 
linux-backports-modules-cw-3.8-3.2.0-53-generic

Wash/Reaver again fails.  Purging these packages returns things to normal.

When I say "fail", I mean completely fails, absolutely dead in the water.  Wash 
finds _no_ access points.  Reaver sees no beacons/associates to nothing.

In case it's relevant, I'll add that in either case, aircrack works fine.

the failure still occurs if you run airodump before of run wash & reaver?

airodump shows all networks, yes.  The whole aircrack suite works fine, as far 
as I can tell.

I have run airodump before, but not at the same time as wash/reaver.

I'll point out that the backports drivers are for linux kernel 3.8, and ubuntu 
13.04 is based on linux kernel 3.8. I was making the uneducated guess that 
there may be something incompatible with the 3.8 drivers (?)

*from linux kernel 3.8

I think it may be incompatible with the version of GCC.
gcc --version
gives no errors when compiling Reaver?

I got no errors in the compilation, no.  I'll point out that reaver works fine 
on Ubuntu 12.04, just not with the backports.  At the same time the compilation 
would not change with the backports installed or not.

gcc --version returns:
gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3

you could try is, download the "Linux driver for Kernel 3.0.0/3.1.0/3.2.0" from 
the Realtek website. install the same version GCC of the old ubuntu, set as the 
system default, this new ubuntu of kernel 3.8
and compile the driver realtek. be sure that the driver compiled has to be 
loaded.

Which "old ubuntu" are you referring to?  I'm on kernel 3.2 in ubuntu 12.04, 
compilation works fine, reaver works fine; but the change to _backports driver_ 
fails.  This is not a compilation problem.  It is a problem between reaver and 
the 3.8 drivers.
