This will fix the issue with the negative channel and aircrack-ng. I confirmed this today, it was compat-wireless not just the kernel. Also not sure but I think WPA handshakes are messed up too. But I know this will work to break WEP. And this does work to fix. Thanks to squirrelscript and ubuntuforums and iwir3d.This is the patch for the negative one bug.
