So we just have to do that(?):

-Take n800 usb cable
-Connect pin 4 and 5 on the part connected to the n8x0. (conductive lacquer?)
-buy female A to female A adapter

What if I buy a Mini USB - Mini USB OTG cable and an (active) USB HUB with a Mini USB connector? Will I be able to use the devices connected to the HUB? Or do I need a HUB that support OTG?

Does the n800 supply enough juice for it or did you have to add external power?
Can you share the compiled module or is it included in the stock kernel (I'm not on os 2008 yet)?
edit: and does it mean that there's version of aircrack-ng workin on os2008?

I had to run it trough the usb-hub in my monitor, I also installed fanoush kernel where otg-whitelist was disabled, don't know if that step was needed but the system stopped *****ing about "usb hub not supported".
You will need two files, the rt73.ko kernel module and rt73.bin firmware, pm me your e-mail and I'll send you the two files.
I have not tried packet injection, but my next step will be to compile
aireplay so that I can test it.
There's a package with aircrack-ng that runs on OS2008, but aireplay-ng is not included.

EDIT: you will also need the wireless-tools package

Why do those Micro-A cables to full-size A-plug even exist in retail? Both ends are for host devices! They serve no purpose that a (soon to be commonplace) Micro-B cable does not fulfill.

Ok how about:

"Motorola SKN6238 USB to Micro-USB Data Cable. Motorola Data Cables allows the user to connect a wireless phone to a modem, enabling access to the internet, e-mail or fax*.
