I cannot perform any PenTest's in BT4-Beta with A BCM4312. Why is this???

Hi Guys...

I am running BT4-Beta from a .iso Image in a VirtualBox OSE Virtual Machine Inside Ubuntu 9.04.

But I am having trouble configuring BT4-Beta to recognise my WLAN card and perform any PenTests!.

Strangely, I can surf the web after using the '/etc/init.d/networking start' Command.

So I know that my WLAN card is listening!!

I have a Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g WLAN Card.

Here is the output from 'lshw -C network' (Ran from inside ubuntu)
(NOT In VirtualBox OSE!!)

To show my WLAN adapter I have on my Laptop::-

*-network
description: Wireless interface
product: BCM4312 802.11b/g
vendor: Broadcom Corporation
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:04:00.0
logical name: eth1
version: 01
serial: 00:24:2b:70:48:b4
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless
configuration: broadcast=yes driver=wl0 driverversion=5.10.79.10 ip=192.168.0.2 latency=0 module=wl multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11

But if I run 'iwconfig' in BT4-Beta running inside VirtualBox OSE Virtual Machine, I get this output:

lo no wireless device

eth0 no wireless device

eth1 no wireless device

What can I do to rectify this. I would appreciate any help on this please!!


Cheers in advance...

I don't know what kind of 'pentester' you are, but you're obviously not a thorough one nor a stickler for details. You're not going to get very far with 1) a BCM4312 2) the card in a Virtualbox environment.

1) Get a card that doesn't suck
2) Learn to research / search for your hardware problems

Thank's for the reply wyse.

You're right about me not reading enough about future issues (Point Taken)...

Too be honest most of what I have read has been a load of gibberish and Bollocks!

I am more of a trial and error man.

As for me and researching. thats exactly why I'm here.

Can you suggest a good WLAN card suited to the above tasks?

I am out to purchase one soon.

The WLAN card I have at the moment is built into my laptop. So I need a removable one. (If you can name a couple??)

Would the card I have at present work if I was not to use it in A Virtual environment?

Hi vvpalin.
