This driver is not a stock driver from the kernel. One needs to get
it separately and install it (either from the rt2500-source package
or directly from upstream).
I played around with using rt2500 with aircrack in the past. It worked
fine in monitor mode but I don't remember if I tried injection.
The rt2500 driver is no longer being actively developed and it may lack
certain features. (Though it's fine unless you're looking for really
specific things. I still use it.)
Nowadays efforts are directed towards a more general driver called
rt2x00 and this supports certain things the rt2500 doesn't. (I think it
might have injection. There's a package rt2x00-source which you can try
out but make sure to check out
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
because there is a lot of development going on and the debian packages
will not be the very latest.
