Compatwireless20100626ptar: Patched [repack]

compat-wireless-2010-06-26-p.tar.bz2 package was a popular driver set used by security researchers to enable "monitor mode" and "packet injection" on wireless cards that didn't natively support them in older Linux distributions like Kali Linux (BackTrack).

This combination represents a specific snapshot of the compat-wireless project (a backport of modern Linux wireless drivers to older kernels) combined with a proprietary or experimental patch known as ptar . The date code 20100626 (June 26, 2010) places this driver set in the Linux 2.6.32–2.6.35 era. compatwireless20100626ptar patched
