Re: Wireless: Alfa AWUS051NH
I've been testing on the 5Ghz range, currently iwlist wlan0 channel only allows (EU):
Channels 1-14 (2.4Ghz)
36-48 (5.18Ghz - 5.24Ghz)
149-165 (5.745Ghz - 5.825Ghz) - These are not allowed in EU!
It should be capable of the following (http://www.alfa.com.tw/in/front/bin/...egory=105483):
5.150-5.350 (Channels 34-64)
5.470-5.850 (Channels 100-165)
These are dependent upon country but channels 48-116, 132-140 should be available to Europe and America but are not showing up with current drivers. They have some restriction to do with dynamic frequency seleciton and tranmission power control between 52-140 but I'm not sure if thats why they aren't being picked up by drivers.
In Windows 7 it detects up to channel 64. Fails to see 100,116,136 (the highest my router will go to).
Re: Wireless: Alfa AWUS051NH
aha, playing around with 'iw list' and 'iw set reg' to set country code has got injection working on 13, and has uncovered the other 5Ghz channels. No luck injecting on the 5Ghz range yet...
Re: Wireless: Alfa AWUS051NH
Hi,
I would buy this card but I'm a little confused surfing the web: many people say that it dosn't work...
Does this card works in monitor e injection mode in a Virtual Machine? Or is it required many custom settings to use it?
Thanks

i'm interested in the card too...right now i'm using the embedded intel 5100 in my laptop and it works quite good, but there are some routers i can't fake auth to (and no chopchop attack too). so my question is: can alfa auth-fake auth-chopchop and everything else on any router? or is there a limited compatibility for this too?
Installation HowTo - Alfa AWUS051NH - Installation RT2870 tutorial
Hi, I'm new here, but I'd like to share my experiences with installing the Alfa AWUS051NH USB Stick on Backtrack 5 R2. This is a tutorial which can be used for installation of any RT2870 based USB Wifi device.
I can't open a thread in the HOWTO Forum, so I'll post it here. This is basically this tutorial: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-...s-adapter.html, but I added some things (1.8) or made some changes (2.0) for better understanding or for avoiding problems.
By the way: If you are a root user on Backtrack (default), you don't have to use "sudo". (That should be clear)
Tools: I always have used gedit instead of vi for editing files. You can use what you are more familiar with.
1. driver installation:
1.1. deactivate default driver:
in file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf add the lines:
Code:
# for deactivating default drivers of RT2870
blacklist rt2800usb
blacklist rt2x00lib
blacklist rt2x00usb
Save and close the file.
1.2 if you have it: remove current driver
$ sudo modprobe -r rt2800usb
OR simply reboot the systems:
$ sudo reboot
1.3 Install Compilers
Genrally good: edit the file sources in /etc/apt and add the following line
deb http://updates.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing
Do a apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.
Then type the following command to install required packages so that you can compile source code:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot dpkg-dev
Finally, install Linux kernel headers so that you can compile kernel device drivers:
$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
1.4. Download Driver, extract + edit:
Visit this page: http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_supp...ort.php?sn=501 and download current driver RT2870USB(RT2870/RT2770)
extract your downloaded file. (In my case: 051NH_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1.tar.bz2)
For Linux kernel 2.6.35 and later: (e.g. Backtrack 5 R2 and newer)
Open file include/os/rt_linux.h and replace
usb_buffer_alloc with usb_alloc_coherent
usb_buffer_free with usb_free_coherent
(do NOT replace rausb_buffer_alloc or rausb_buffer_free).
(Source http://www.linuxcrew.de/blog/2010/10...10-10/?lang=en). Save.
1.5. Compile RT2870 Wireless Lan Linux Driver
First, edit config.mk file as follows so that Network Manager can be used to set WPA2 auth info:
$ vi os/linux/config.mk
Set it as follows:
Code:
# Support Wpa_Supplicant
HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y
# Support Native WpaSupplicant for Network Manger
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y
Save and close the file. To compile the driver, enter:
$ make
Note: You may see a LOTs of warnings during the compilation, and this is *normal* so don't panic.
1.6. Install Driver
Type the following command:
$ sudo make install
1.7 Update Network interfaces list:
edit file /etc/network/interfaces and add the following lines
Code:
auto ra0
iface ra0 inet dhcp
1.8 Load the driver on startup:
edit the file /ect/modules and add the following line
rt2870sta
Save.
(1.9. Download Firmware (see http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-...s-adapter.html) - not tested yet)
2. driver configuration:
You need to edit /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat file
Check out: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php..._Configuration
For: Germany, WEP encryption, open authen., key 1 used (hex), wirelessmode=legacy 11b/g mixed:

TGnWifiTest=0
WirelessEvent=0

Be careful with the Wireless Mode!
WirelessMode=10 (802.11a,g,n) can't connect to 802.11b,g Routers. So use WirelessMode=0 (802.11b,g) then instead.
By setting the correct WirelessMode, you will avoid the following annoying problem later when connecting with dhclient:
Code:
root@bt:~# dhclient ra0
There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.pid with pid 3491

3. Reboot system to load the driver.
4. Connecting to a network
4.1 (You connecting with the wict network manager. It doesn't work for me.) If wict can't connect, do the following instead:
Code:
ifconfig ra0 down
ifconfig ra0 up
iwconfig ra0 essid "YOURROUTER ESSID" key YOURKEYHERE enc on
dhclient ra0
5. Enjoy.
I don't know if its necessary to know: I use BT not in a VM. I run it on a notebook which (of course) has another WLAN chip that runs as wlan0.

Same here..seems to work out of the box except injection seems to be erratic.. here is my take:
Hi, just thought I share my experience with Blueway BT-N9200 9dBi High-Gain B/G/N Wireless USB Adapter which has got exactly the same chip as in ALFAAWUS036NH card. It seems to work very well with my BT5 R2 64bit Gnome. I am using Backtrack from my HDD and not Virtual Machine. Please see the output as I run through air-crack-ng command suites.
Note my USB card is wlan1

Re: Wireless: Alfa AWUS051NH
Hey im using backtrack for a while now and i just bought the alfa AWUS051NH, I run backtrack trough parallels on my mac (that why i bought the alfa AWUS051NH it also works on the newer versions of mac) so i tried to just plug it in and it didnt work! I already tried allot also the tutorial a few post above, so my question is: is it possible to get it working trough parallels or is an other virtual machine better.(also parallels keeps crashing forcing me to restart my whole computer, with al kind of crazy annoying failures) So i prefer another virtualbox but wich will detect the usb? parallels does detect my mouse and an other wireless i own. so why not this one?
thanks for your time and effort,
greets
