Im trying to find the most suitable driver for my network USB device in Ubuntu 11.10. First, where can I check the driver that ubuntu is using to control this device? It appears as interface wireless (wlan1) in Network Tools, but apart from the MAC address and some statistics about data transmission, there's no info about the driver.
I'd already installed aircrack-ng, which provides several options to scan networks. Running airmon-ng start wlan1
in terminal I get the following:
Interface Chipset Driver
eth1 Unknown wl
wlan1 Unknown rt2800usb - [phy2]
(monitor mode enabled on mon0)
The wireless adapter is TP-LINK model TL-WN7200ND, and the wireless panel reads it as a RaLink adapter. Seems that rt2800usb is the driver for the adapter, but is there anything more powerful for this device??
