BT4pf and awus036h sort of broke

[tcasxps]

This is my first post, so be nice please.

I have bt installed and running for a while, now using bt4pf(well chuffed wiv it). The alfa was injecting before, but of late I have been learning other things, so not used it. Now I go back to using, it will not inject, but it will go into monitor mode but will not connect to my own wep.

I have used: r8187, rtl8187, vmware image, ubuntu (hd install), bt3(live), bt4pr(live).

I have been using aireplay-ng --test, to check it. airmon-ng, airodump-ng works.

Any advice please I have searched all over, but could not find answear.

You mean there is NO one else out there that is having problems with this card???

I just don't understand how it can go into m/m but cannot inject? or it can scan the air and find lot's of AP but cannot connect?

Is it broke? do I need to replace?

Thanx in advance

No need to "bump" your thread, if someone knows the answer they will probably post.
In the meantime post the output of and injection test.
aireplay-ng -9 -e teddy -a 00:de:ad:ca:fe:00 -i wlan1 wlan0 That way others may be able to help you.

Also, post the steps you are using to try to connect to an AP and how you show that it is not functioning. Please do this with an AP under your control so you can be sure to eliminate unforeseen variables (like MAC address filtering, etc). Injection is more advanced, if you really can not connect to an AP then that says your card is probably having issues and I wouldn't go further with it.

.... Yeah and like doing something illegal and going to jail.

You can lawfully connect to APs that are not under your control, like a university that you attend, or at a coffee shop for example.

No one said you couldn't.
The above was a bit of tongue in cheek humor.

Have you two finished?

Yea sorry about the double, getting frustrated. I have tried changing the driver etc, I am thinking the card maybe stuffed, just do not understand why.

The AP's are not the problem since I gave birth to em.

I just use "Wicd Manager" to connect, I am lazy and it is easy When I try to connect wicd just hangs iwconfig below done at the same time "Wicd" is thinking.

you should not bother to bring up wicd prior to/after starting X in this scenario; at least to avoid any possible unnecessary complications/confusion.

PID Name
5757 dhclient

did you issue #kill 5757 at this point?

you mention having a live bt3 final option. your card looks as though it should be functional. an easy way to verify the issue is not your card would be to simply rule out the drivers and any other changes/cli mistakes you have made during previous attempts. the alfa should inject and associate properly in monitor mode in bt3 with very little hassle without the confusion sometimes caused by those not used to using the mon0 interface. you could simply bring up the alfa via #airmon-ng start wlan0 (ap channel #),verify monitor mode, and then use an automagic such as wesside-ng via #wesside-ng -i wlan0 (ap channel #) to verify AP association and injection and rule out the card as being defective/failed.

I did not even think to kill

I have not even heard off wesside-ng Ok to rule out - I reloaded bt3 final usb(cd). Issued airmon-ng start wlan0, it is now in m/mode with no 'pid' warning. Issued aireplay-ng --test wlan0 and it is not injecting But it shows mac of 02:1a:70:e1::79:5e for 'tcas_vap'

So:-

wesside-ng -i wlan0 -v 02:1a:70:e1:79:5e 11
using mac

I have never used this program before, but do not think it is injecting.

I do like this program makes life alot easier got the key all in one command. lol

wesside-ng -i ath0 -v 02:1a:70:e1:79:5e 11

Anyways, wlan0 still not injecting
