Hi there
I am runing kali-linux-1.0.6-i386(kernel 3.12) as a live boot from usb.(keep this in mind, i can't reboot)
I got an Alfa Awus036nhr v.2 with RTL8188RU chipset and was trying to deal with txpower option.
So as posted many times in here i just went for the backports way.
ok since here no errors were shown.Code:apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) got the lstest stable release of backports (backports-3.15-rc1-1.tar.xz) tar -xvf back*.xz modified from backports/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/regd.c the line "REG_RULE(2412-10, 2462+10, 40, 0, 20, 0)" to "REG_RULE(2412-10, 2484+10, 40, 0, 33, 0)". cd /root/backports* make defconfig-wifi make -j4 sudo make install
inserted the usb adapter and this were the kernel logs
the casrd is present in lsusbCode:root@kali:~/backports-3.15-rc1-1# tail -f /var/log/messages May 9 16:27:39 localhost kernel: [ 1688.396911] rtlwifi: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_rate_control_register May 9 16:27:39 localhost kernel: [ 1688.396913] rtlwifi: Unknown symbol ieee80211_rate_control_register (err -22) May 9 16:27:39 localhost kernel: [ 1688.396948] rtlwifi: disagrees about version of symbol wiphy_rfkill_start_polling May 9 16:27:39 localhost kernel: [ 1688.396951] rtlwifi: Unknown symbol wiphy_rfkill_start_polling (err -22) May 9 16:27:39 localhost kernel: [ 1688.396966] rtlwifi: disagrees about version of symbol freq_reg_info May 9 16:27:39 localhost kernel: [ 1688.396969] rtlwifi: Unknown symbol freq_reg_info (err -22) May 9 16:27:39 localhost kernel: [ 1688.396981] rtlwifi: disagrees about version of symbol rate_control_send_low May 9 16:27:39 localhost kernel: [ 1688.396983] rtlwifi: Unknown symbol rate_control_send_low (err -22) May 9 16:27:39 localhost kernel: [ 1688.397011] rtlwifi: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_rx_irqsafe May 9 16:27:39 localhost kernel: [ 1688.397014] rtlwifi: Unknown symbol ieee80211_rx_irqsafe (err -22)
the rtlwifi or rtl8192cu modules wont appear under lsmodCode:root@kali:~# lsusb ... Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0bda:817f Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188RU 802.11n WLAN Adapter ...

So why an i getting those Unknown symbol ieee80211_... kernel errors?Code:root@kali:~/backports-3.15-rc1-1# modprobe rtl8192cu ERROR: could not insert 'rtl8192cu': Invalid argument
Do you have any idea?
It's been three days i've been searching all around for a solution but i have made no progress at all.
