Compat Wireless 3.6.8 1 Snpc Tar Bz2 Rating: 3,7/5 1980 reviews
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!

I am having the same trouble as others getting my Atheros AR8131 Ethernet card recognised by Ubuntu 12.10 on my new HP Pavillion P7-1449 PC. I found the same question where the answer suggested the following:

  1. Download Tarball compact-wireless-3.6.8-1-snpc
  2. Run

The problem is when I run the make command I get the following:

Found a link to an alternative patch file (compat-wireless-2012-09-25-pc) but then I get the similar error:

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

The instructions to install compat-wireless modules are good, but in recent Ubuntu releases, this has been packaged and there's no need to compile this from source anymore! So, let's take a step back and look at another much simpler approach to install it.

Simply install the appropriate linux-backports-modules-cw-* package for your kernel, e.g.:

  • For Quantal, using Linux compat-wireless-3.6 backported to regular kernel

  • Same, but for Precise

Or use any other package management tool to install this package. While it has 'backport' in its package name, it's not needed to enable any backports repository - it's just there in main.

Finally, reboot, or if you know the kernel module to load: sudo modproble modulename.

Lately the modules from the 3.8 kernel have been backported, so use

instead of

as in gertvdijk's answer here

I am not sure, there is no need of compilation. Free download natsume yuujinchou sub indo. Alx module which only works with my AR8161 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is gone. So download, and compile works for me.

I have to download some older package from compact wireless website which ALX module contains as mentioned here.

no, that will not help. The last version that contains alx module is version 3.4, unfortunately.

so a regular user with this network card is completely dumped :(

Gta san andreas save game with hot coffee mod. and each time I upgrade to a new version of kernel once a few months, I have to waste one hour trying to figure out where did the linux magicians hide my network card driver!anybody's been curious why Linux fails on Desktop? this is why! :(

why cannot they just move it where all the other network card drivers are?

so the proper command is:
