    Search out BEINI 1.2.3/1.2.4 (reaver edition) for less headaches with the 8188RU.

    The 8188RU in Linux is not plug and play like 036H.

    Those 2 Beini's are the only solution where the driver shows client associations properly.

    For something of a full arsenal of tools, my favourite atm for every day use is wifislax 4.7/4.8
    where only 8188RU will work for reaver and WEP, not for grabbing WPA handshakes.

    You don't install it, you burn the .iso file to CD and boot from it.

    Drivers for NHR are already included. Nothing to install.
