Virtual radar - airplane tracking using ADS-B broadcasts

Hi I'd like to share my little weekend project - virtual radar for airplane tracking. The radar is virtual because it doesn't use big rotating antennas, it doesn't transmit, etc - it received ADS-B broadcasts from airplanes and decodes them using cheap RTL-SDR USB dongle worth around £8 (<£10 with s...

Re: Debian Squeeze: WiFi RealTek RTL8191SU: Problem Setting

uhm...8192cu != 8191su :-) but was worth a try - glad you got it working and thanks for the pointer to the solution

Re: Debian Squeeze: WiFi RealTek RTL8191SU: Problem Setting up Driver

rtl8192cu is the name of the original module that comes with debian package…

The fact it loads means you didn't blacklist it first… unless blacklisted it will load before the 8192cu (from the website) and block the card because it can't use it.

Re: Debian Squeeze: WiFi RealTek RTL8191SU: Problem Setting up Driver



Having the plaintext psk is a risky thing... but if you run it via wpa_passphrase and put result in config file exactly as wpa_passphrase returns it, it will work as well.

Glad you got it going!

Re: Debian Squeeze: WiFi RealTek RTL8191SU: Problem Setting up Driver

Yup... and above you have exact working configuration examples for all of those options - WPA-PSK (from documentation) and WPA2-CCMP (via my blog) - sorry, can't help any more than that.

Re: Debian Squeeze: WiFi RealTek RTL8191SU: Problem Setting up Driver

<t>Where did you get key_mgmt=WPA-PSK from? I guess from the docs…<br/> <br/> The config in my blog post works on AP that doesn"t do WPA, only WPA2. The chkmic error you get is related to one of the security checks on the packet (for simplicity let"s say it"s checksum) so you have misconfiguration s...

Re: Debian Squeeze: WiFi RealTek RTL8191SU: Problem Setting up Driver

<t>There is no such thing in config like WPA2 or AES-CCMP… The config I gave in the post was already for WPA2 network (AES-CCMP), so DO NOT change 'WPA' to 'WPA2' - it will not work.<br/> <br/> For WPA/WPA2 with TKIP and CCMP (auto-negotiate) you should use:<br/> <br/> <br/> key_mgmt=WPA<br/> pairwi...
