try #airmon.sh start wlan0

[kilasin]

thnx ya that helped in airmon.sh helped in enabled monitorin so now im tryin to figure out how i can attack things to get packets movin hehe but ya this helped thnx man

[G-Stress]

Yea I'm have the same problem I will give that a try the #airmon.sh start wlan0, but my card also shows up as wifi0 also. Kismet seems to work fine. Airodump on the other hand when I start it, it's like it's froze just that shell, or lookin for AP's it does nothing but display the information across the top, BSSID, DATA, CH. etc. I would really apreciate it if somebody could help me with that, hopefully this command will help I'ma give that a try now.

AMD 64 3000+
512
DWL-650 rev. P also
Senao NL 2511 CD Plus ext2 (same issue)

[G-Stress]

Yea I tried that "#airmon.sh start wlan0" it didn't work. I tried it in Auditor with no success, I guess that script isn't even in Auditor. Then I tried in BackTrack, but forgot BT doesn't even recognize either card the DWL-650, or the Senao 2511.

Umm I've read articles about getting card's working in these live distro's. Is there a way though to do so without a HD install?

[yeehawjared]

I have a Senao NL 2511 CD Plus ext2

I fire up B|T (live or HD-install)
airmon.sh > shows available cards
airmon.sh start wlan0 <channel>
card gets set to monitor mode

Why don't you try 2 different things..

switch-to-wlanng, eject, insert
airmon.sh start wlan0 <ch>

or

switch-to-hostap, eject, insert
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
iwconfig channel XX
ifconfig wlan0 up

something like that, may have to look around for how to manually set card to monitor mode

[G-Stress]

airmon.sh start wlan0 <ch#> results are

a directory location then below Interface, Chipset, etc. but the information is blank like it didn't detect the card.

Tried both with my Senao NL-2511 and my DWL-650 rev. P I also tried

switch-to-hostap, ejcect, insert
switch-to-wlanng, eject, insert

both gave the same result runnning iwconfig

lo no wireless extensions

eth0 no wireless extensions

eth1 no wireless extensions

sit0 no wirless extensions

I would really like to get at least 1 card working running off live CD and definitely supporting packet injection and Mass deauthentication.

[kimbell]

Post you lspci for us to look at please.

[G-Stress]

This is what I get with the Senao card

Looks like it is the card bus that is giving you a problem. You could try what is mentioned in this (http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=421&start=0) link.

[G-Stress]

I'll give it a try, thanks kimbell.

do hermes based cards strictly not work for monitor mode? I have a orinoco gold classic card and It wont work to setup as wlan0, it will only recognize as eth0. the mode monitor command does not work either.

Hermes based cards should be ethX. Check you dmesg and or lsmod to see which drives are loaded for yor wireless card.

[jeegro]

OK here is part of my dmesg output, i just put in the data for the ethX interface.

anything wrong?
The problems im experiencing with it is
a) won't display as wlanX
b) cant set monitor mode
c) when I start up airodump, it doesnt show Packets, IV count, just the basic info like Probes, BSSID, etc. This might be because it isnt in monitor mode though.
d) can run void11 deauth attack because wlan0 is not showing up (ties back into problem A)\

Thanks for the help

Can you post the cardctl ident output? Void 11 is only supported be prism 2.5 chipset cards. The alias wlan0 is seen when the hostap_cs drivers are loaded... I belive the drivers you are uesing now are the best choice.

[kimbell]

Did you add this hot fix to your iso? http://www.remote-exploit.org/orinoco-fix.mo

[yeehawjared]

have you tried using WHAX 3.0? it may be B|T and a hardware issue with your lappy.

[jeegro]

cardctl ident:

product info: "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/IEEE", "Version 01.01", ""
manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
function: 6 (network)

Did you add this hot fix to your iso? http://www.remote-exploit.org/orinoco-fix.mo

Yes I did. I run BT on HD now

[kimbell]

Does iwpriv eth1 list monitor mode? I think you should roll back your firmware for better support.

[kimbell]

You may look over these links for help since you have already done the HD install...

or

No it does not.

How do I roll back firmware, and to which?

Is my only option to get everything I want out of BT to get a Prism2 card?

Oh, and I also have a Broadcom built in wireless card (HP dv4000 laptop) would this work?

Look to my previous post for an alternative. The hermes chipset does not support packet injection/deauth (ie aireplay). The broadcom driver project seems to be comming along in those areas though.

Ok im following the linuxquestions.org tutorial and im confused with this command
cp *.ko /lib/modules/kernel-version/kernel/drivers/net/wireless

There are no .ko files in the directory i created... do you know what i change in this command?

Did your make, make install finnish without errors?

I would start by makeing sure my kernel source is ready...
cd /usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig
make prepare
Then I would untar the driver in /usr/src and build them from there.

Well im out for the night, be back tomorrow and we can continue :)

thanks for helping

[itdanger]

darn have the same problem... nowhere a sollution to be found :(

With my senao 2511 i have performance problems but now with my orinoco gold card i can find lots of wifi networks but can get my card into monitor mode :S and it is been seen as eth1 :S

:confused:


Nobody got this problem solved yet?

I am not a linux guru but i can try everything as long it is writen down :)

[strict9ne]

ok i have the same netgear ma111 as in the user in the first post and im usind auditor..i tryed the #airmon.sh start wlan0 and i guess that worked because i didnt get any error message
then when i input
iwconfig wlan0 channel and the channel number
i get this message
error for wireless request "set frequency" 8B84 (i think)
Set failed on device wlan0; operation not supported.

P.S. im using auditor because my laptop doesnt support the use of backtrack

[damocles]

Very strange...

I have a DWL G650 Dlink card...with atheros chip set

Couldn't get him into monitor but when I did : airmon-ng wifi0 start or something like that it worked but I suddenly got a Ath0 and Ath1 with 1 in management mode and one in monitor mode.

Must be something wrong there...

[hawaii67]

damocles, I have the same interesting behaviour.
Must come from the new aircrack and airmon versions.
I do
airmon-ng start wifi0
which creates an IF ath1
and then I use ath1 for further investigations......this works well.
:D
