Ubuntu 11 10 aireplay ng and the mon0 is on channel 1 error and how to fix it shell script included

I had recently upgrade my Ubuntu install to 11.10. Along with other annoyances I came across I ran into a bit of a deal breaker when I went to run aireplay-ng. I was getting the following error:


This was going to be a huge problem since I know that my ZyDAS 1211 chip set was compatible with packet injection. After searching around for a bit I found a great solution from this site here about the drivers and how to patch and reinstall the older ones back in. Below I have a script that you can run to get that installed.

UK DVB Channel Numbers for MythDora 5

Mythtv, for those who dont know, is a very powerful, flexible, PVR tweakers paradise which can be run on top of an existing linux OS or from one of the customised distributions available. The new version of Mythdora, 5, has a really irritating problem: using UK freeview DVB-T it doesnt assign channel numbers as you would expect. So to the rescue is a small mysql script to do just that. The channel numbers come from the awesome DigitalSpy website, one of the best collections of information on transmitted media I have ever come across.


Script:

USE mythconverg;
UPDATE channel SET channum=1 WHERE name=BBC ONE; 
UPDATE channel SET channum=2 WHERE name=BBC TWO; 
UPDATE channel SET channum=3 WHERE name=ITV1; 
UPDATE channel SET channum=4 WHERE name=Channel 4; 
UPDATE channel SET channum=5 WHERE name=Five; 
UPDATE channel SET channum=6 WHERE name=ITV2; 
UPDATE channel SET channum=7 WHERE name=BBC THREE; 
UPDATE channel SET channum=9 WHERE name=BBC FOUR; 
UPDATE channel SET channum=10 WHERE name=ITV3; 
UPDATE channel SET channum=11 WHERE name=SKY THREE; 
UPDATE channel SET channum=12 WHERE name=UKTV History; 
UPDATE channel SET channum=13 WHERE name=Channel 4+1; 
UPDATE channel SET channum=14 WHERE name=More 4;

UPDATE channel SET channum=725 WHERE name=Premier Radio;
UPDATE channel SET channum=727 WHERE name=Virgin Radio; 
UPDATE channel SET channum=728 WHERE name=Heart; 

To use it cut and paste the SQL into a text file called channel_num_fix.sql. Then run as root:

/etc/init.d/mythbackend stop
mysql -u mythtv -p < channel_num_fix.sql
/etc/init.d/mythbackend start

2 Potential warnings here: Firstly I get you to stop the backend. I am uncertain that is necessary, however on your own head be it. Also if you have channels not listed I would ensure they are not assigned to a channel number that one of the above channels want. I dont know what would happen, perhaps nothing bad as each channel has a unique ID as well as its number.
