A script by Bar Hofesh to install the compact-wireless drivers on your machine according to your kernel version.
Many thanks to Tom Lime for posting his improvement of the script!

This script supports kernels 3.1 – 3.6 , when using with aircrack-ng\reaver you could have the -1 channel bug, if so use the patch from :
cd compat-wireless*
wget http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/channel-negative-one-maxim.patch
patch -p1 < channel-negative-one-maxim.patch
The patch didn’t work for kernel 3.6. They had re-write the whole code for chan.c
Yeah nasty problem… thanks for this handy script.
I just improved it a little bit http://pastebin.com/QSxsYAzh
