IPW3945 - Driver Management gui dev

[-~operator~-]

Hey all, i know there's another thread for it (with wrong download link), but i would like to start this from scratch so it's (hopefully) pointed out clearly.

So you have an IPW3945abg card and want to use it for injection? Then you can use this link, will get you the required drivers as lzm.bz2 file:

lzm module for ipraw drivers (http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1985.0;id=235)

i assume you have downloaded it in the /tmp directory, so open up a shell and type:

cd /tmp
mv ipwraw-ng.lzm.bz2 ipwraw-ng.lzm
lzm2dir ipwraw-ng.lzm /

this will unpack the drivers needed, and create a subdirectory named "ipwraw" in the /tmp directory. now we install it, so we do:

cd /tmp/ipwraw
make
make install

the required drivers should now be installed. NOW YOU HAVE TWO DRIVERS FOR YOUR CARD, the original ipw3945 and the ipwraw drivers. To check if the new ones are working, be sure that your other ipw3945 drivers are not loaded, so do this:

/sbin/modprobe -r ipw3945
/usr/src/drivers/ipw3945-1.2.0/unload

now you can load the ipwraw with:

/tmp/ipwraw/load

This should get up a message saying "Interface up as rtap0 and ready for application connection". iwconfig will show you a wifi and rtap interface you can try out for injection.

if you want to use your old drivers again for normal connection, first unload the new ipwraw driver. YOU CANNOT USE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME! use this for unloading:

/sbin/modprobe -r ipwraw
then load your old ipw3945 driver with:

/sbin/modprobe ipw3945
/usr/src/drivers/ipw3945-1.2.0/load

Finished!
-----------------------------
Now you got 2 drivers. your old ipw3945, with this commands:

For loading:
/sbin/modprobe ipw3945
/usr/src/drivers/ipw3945-1.2.0/load
For unloading:
/sbin/modprobe -r ipw3945
/usr/src/drivers/ipw3945-1.2.0/unload

and the new ipwraw driver with this for loading:
/tmp/ipwraw/load
and unloading:
/sbin/modprobe -r ipwraw

----------------------------
OPTIONAL, you don't need to do this: if you are lazy like me, you can use this 112, a little Kommander skript for loading and unloading the drivers, if you followed the installation above. Just download it in your /tmp directory and use this commands:

cd /tmp
unzip ipwstarter.zip
cd /tmp/ipwstarter
./install.sh

This should have created a link called "ipw-starter.sh" on your Desktop and, when doubleclicked, you should see a small GUI for starting up and shutting down the wireless drivers.
On the top you can see the input for your interface,essid,channel and key. under this is the main part, the dropdown. there you can load, unload the drivers, down your interface, configure it for wireless and dhcp.if you click on any of those, especially the "load ipw3945" please be patient as it takes some seconds till it's loaded. also you get no status messages, so check ifconfig/iwconfig in a shell.
On the left side under "Injection" you have the ipwraw drivers. so with this you can quickly switch between the two drivers. Remember: you cannot have two drivers loaded at the same time.
This is my first Kommander Skript and the first install skript, so don't be too harsh with me :D if anything is not working right, please inform me about it.

Have Fun!

cd /tmp
mv ipraw-ng.lzm.bz2 ipraw-ng.lzm
lzm2dir ipraw-ng.lzm /
Fix to
ipwraw-ng.lzm.bz2 ipwraw-ng.lzm
other than that good tutorial. I am still going through what works and what does not with ipwraw.

[-~operator~-]

uups, sorry, bad typo. fixed in above thread. thanks!

[wyze]

This is my first Kommander Skript and the first install skript, so don't be too harsh with me :D if anything is not working right, please inform me about it.

Have Fun!

Hey man... long overdue, but thanks man... I've used you mod like 8+ times for quick install and it's never failed me!

[nishv]

This is pretty good, thanks -~operator~- :)

I have tried it but, error coming up as

Could not find wifi0 interface...

[ranlr]

This is pretty good, thanks -~operator~- :)

I have tried it but, error coming up as

Could not find wifi0 interface...

Same problem here. Couldnt find solution anywhere (google, forums etc.)
anyone know? only eth0 active, no wifi0.

[nawashy]

I can't download the attachement ipwstarte.zip

[empinchen]

I too had the problem with interface not coming up

what does dmesg say?

Because in my case it said the Radio Frequency kill switch is on, and that obvoiusly needs to be off.

The kill switch is the button on your laptop that alows you to shut down wlan completely.

-~operator~- thank you very much for this tutorial, it is both simple to follow and very useful indeed, especially the ipwstarter script you made for us the lazy ones ;). It's nice that you explain on every step what we are actually doing. BIG THANKS again. Keep guiding us, you and all the RE.forum activists, your work is well appreciated!

[XcEll]

Thanks for this great tutorial, worked for me!!! :D I'm a complete noob with bt, I had my first linux encounter 3 weeks ago ;) Only not allowed to try your kommander script.. :'(

[R3VO-INC]

Very usefull tut to me, thanks dude. I was using the live cd with the lzm file in the module but now I'm using this to load off hdd as I just installed it.

Just one request could some upload the ipwstarter.zip to rapidshare or something because I can't download it. Thank you again.

[R3VO-INC]

Hey just wanted to ask again if anyone can download and upload the ipwstarter.zip file to a different site. Would be much appriciated.

[shamanvirtuel]

i got one of these card too

i will throw a little gui when i got time.....
with maybe some additions like iwpriv controls , or injection test......

[shamanvirtuel]

i will have good news for ipw3945 users in the night

ive begin something

screenshots will come

reliz soon

Merry Xmas (http://rapidshare.com/files/75557907/ipwstarter.zip.html)

But keep checking for some of the goodies Shahman is going to reliz :cool:

[shamanvirtuel]

i think it's useless to develop only for kde ....

this won't work on gnome for example.... just my point of view

mine will be java
....

portable

[shamanvirtuel]

so here is the first view of the module with the ipw3945_1.2.0 area raised

you can do here all classical operations

enjoy

Now that is very slick Shahman!!! Damn good job....... does it work??? :p

[Re@lity]

Nice one SV :)

Gotta link? ;)

[shamanvirtuel]

the managed mode driver part is ok

i need to finish the monitor part , maybe tomorrow, and all will rocks...

no java update needed, installer will come


no link for the moment but soon.... i want to send it to muts at the same time than ezpawn.....

so maybe will be included as well....in bt3
:cool:

[shamanvirtuel]

NEWS... ive finished the hardcoding of ipraw-ng module....i need to link all that in the gui and i will be able to reliz it soon ....

[hackproof]

rt2570 ralink i posted about it long tym ago

[MaGrandMereChinoise]

I'm just beginning here and with BT but want to thanks you all for the good job you do.

ici c'est une mine d'or......

;)

[sardinemaster]

première fois que je vois du français par ici! bonjour à tous! et c'est vrai que c'est une mine d'or... mais finalement ton module a été incorporé avec BT3, ou pas?

Merci.

Translation:
first time I see people talking french here! Hi all! This is a golden website... in the end did ur module get incorporated in BT3, or not?

Thanks.

[shamanvirtuel]

no this module is still in dev but will be relized before a month

im finishing my master project ezpawn , the backtrack tray exploitation companion, have a look....

i've also begin to build the same as this one for rt73's based cards

....

[pszab2]

I want to download the zip file, but it is not allowed for me, therefore i am writing this post

[SubJimbo]

Thanks alot :D

[exius]

If you missed the Merry X-Mas link, this is the URL to IPWSTARTER.ZIP file! hxxp://rapidshare.com/files/75557907/ipwstarter.zip.html

[captainroger]

hey guys
im very new to this and am trying to load the lzm module but i seem to be having trouble (3945ABG + BT3 beta)

cd /tmp/ipwraw
make
make install

i get:
# make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.21.5/build M=/tmp/ipwraw modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.21.5/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [modules] Error 2


bt ipwraw # make install
Installing to /lib/modules/2.6.21.5/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/...done

Don't forget to copy firmware to your hotplug's firmware directory
and have the hotplug tools in place.

Please see the README.ipwraw for information on regulatory compliance.



also:
for
/sbin/modprobe -r ipw3945
/usr/src/drivers/ipw3945-1.2.0/unload

# /sbin/modprobe -r ipw3945
FATAL: Module ipw3945 not found.
bt ipwraw # /usr/src/drivers/ipw3945-1.2.0/unload
-bash: /usr/src/drivers/ipw3945-1.2.0/unload: Not a directory

and finally:
/tmp/ipwraw/load
gives:
[# /tmp/ipwraw/load
Loading 'ipwraw'..FATAL: Error inserting ipwraw (/lib/modules/2.6.21.5/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipwraw.ko): Invalid module format
.failed.
Module load failed.[/CODE]


The error messages are fairly straight-forward but i cant seem to get around them.. i used the 280kb install ipwraw lzm module in the iso file just like this forum said so as well. what simple mistake am i doing wrong??
thanks in advance for any replies, i really appreciate it.

i already asked. i guessed its just pending
by the way my ip is dynamic :D

[lastsurvivor]

Thank you for your informative tutorial operator

[altered.colors]

Then you can use this link, will get you the required drivers as lzm.bz2 file:

hxxp://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1985.0;id=235"]lzm module for ipraw drivers


I'm getting a "You are not allowed to access this section" message from the download link (despite registering myself), didn't find the file anywhere with search... could somebody post the lzm.bz2 somewhere?

[mariooo]

First of all I'm a noob and backtrack is the first linux distribution I use hope someone can help me.
When I do this

mv ipwraw-ng.lzm.bz2 ipwraw-ng.lzm

I get mv: cannot stat `ipwraw-ng.lzm.bz2': No such file or directory

what's wrong?

[Jerok]

I'm getting a "You are not allowed to access this section" message from the download link (despite registering myself), didn't find the file anywhere with search... could somebody post the lzm.bz2 somewhere?

Im having the same problem could someone please post this on rapidshare or something. Thanks.

[Fishy80]

so is this going to be in bt3 for sure?
