Drivers for wireless usb adapter - Mageia1

I recently bought a new wireless usb adapter. But my Mageia1 can't detect it. I search the net but can't find any. Something that cross my mind. I had a Backtrack 5 DVD. It is for cracking wifi. It support many wireless and it should have the driver my want. That's it I found the driver in the /lib/firmware folder. I copy the files in that folder. It works!!!

Install reaver-wps1.4 in Mageia2

First download it from: http://code.google.com/p/reaver-wps/downloads/list
Then, update the repository. Install libpcap-dev and sqlite3-devel.
Compile reaver-wps with ./configure, make, make install and make clean.
That's it.
