entware/optware aircrack-ng

[vehmaki]

I have asus rt-n66u running asuswrt.

I have installed aircrack-ng package, but it wont start due to missing package Wireless tools.

So my question is can anyone compile this package and add it to repository.

Pardon?

# opkg depends aircrack-ng
aircrack-ng depends on:
        libc
        libpthread
        libopenssl
        libpcap

What is Wireless tools package?

What is Wireless tools package?

Sorry I meant when I start airodump-ng which is part of airocrack-ng I get error:Wireless tools not found

Ah! Now I get it. While starting, any airocrack* tool searches for some standard linux utilities which absent in our small embedded device. Here is workaround:

opkg install coreutils-true
ln -s /bin/echo  /opt/bin/iwconfig
ln -s /bin/echo  /opt/bin/iwpriv

I did all of above but still get same error wireless tools not found
Should I restart router after running above commands?

No, it's not necessary. I've checked on Entware installation.

Airodump-ng needs wireless tools. Can you get your interface in monitor mode with airmon-ng without wireless tools? Otherwise I like to know.
Look at this thread https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=193869#p193869
I cannot install this package => http://backfire.openwrt.org/10.03/brcm47xx/packages/wireless-tools_29-4_brcm47xx.ipk due incompability with architecture.
Is it possible to get this package to the entware repo?

I'm afraid, no. Wireless-tools is hardware depended package.
We do not include hardware/kernel dependent software to Entware.

I have compiled it http://www.sendspace.com/file/69y2nz
Now aircrack-ng tools like aireplay-ng, airodump-ng are displayed properly.

Wireless-tools is hardware depended package.

It is true but could you please help me to compile the rtl8187 modules?
I'm using a awus036 usb wifi adapter and it seems to work nicely on open wrt.
I have tried to compile the modules but the ieee80211 stack seems to be broken.
Would you please take a look to see what's wrong with makefile
