    How do I know if my wireless router is loading the correct drivers?

    I have both an Alpha AWUS036NH and an Alpha AWUS051NH. Both appear to be completely PnP in Kali-Linux but I want to be sure I'm not misinterpreting the feedback I get.

    When I plug in the AWUS036NH and query with ifconfig, iwconfig, dmesg and airmon-ng I get the following information:

    wlan0 Realtek RTL8187 with driver RTL8187

    When I plug in the AWUS051NH and do the same queries I get:

    wlan1 Ralink RT2870/3070 with driver RT2800USB and firmware RT2870.bin

    Both adapters seem to work well in both monitor mode and as a regular AP. I cannot say that the AWUS051NH seems particularly more sensitive or faster than the AWUS036NH in the same location and downloading files from the same routers, but both work.

    Do these appear to be the correct drivers for these chipsets?

  2. not really sure you're asking on the right forum. are you not best off going on the website for your motherboard/laptop/computer and seeing what the correct drivers are?
