Difference between RT73 and RT2500 ???

[zeubi]

Hi !

I explain.
I've buy a usb dongle (alpha AWUS036S) and after many reads I'm unable to know if it own a RT2500 or RT73 chipset.
I don't understand. Maybe it's the same thing !?
Can you enlighten me on this subject ?

Thx.

Please explain why you would want to know! do you have a problem with the AWUS036S?
From what i know and read the card use's the RT2500 chipset.
Aircrack-ng says both RT2500 and RT73 can inject and moniter. check this link http://www.tuto-fr.com/en/tutorial/m...fa-network.php

- I just want to know for myself. I think it's interesting to know with which hardware I'm playing.

- I have no problem with it even so I'm unable to connect to my WPA network. I think it's me who don't know how to use it.

- Thx for the link but I've already read it.

to my knowledge, the rt73 is used on USB adapters, and the rt2500 is for PCI based wifi adapters! ;-)

use this

lspci
lsusb
dmesg
lsmod

you will come to know which chipset you are using and also other hardware details also.
