I had wepbuster working with rc3 but thought I'd upgrade to rc4. I also updated the driver for my Edimax usb dongle at the same time. Now when I come to run wepbuster I get the following

If you are "changing" your MAC address ( not quite sure how:confused:) and then booting to the BT live CD then your NIC will always revert to the MAC thats hardwired into it at manufacture.

I believe you may get a better response to your question if you ask it here- http://ubuntuforums.org/.

This is a forum for BackTrack and many of the more senior members tend to get a mite tetchy...

Surely not a problem? The tutorial is concise and very clear.


Still not an issue. The drivers are installed to the OS and loaded at boot. They are not installed to the NIC. Therefore if you wish...

Anf if you do a search for Secure_it's tutorial about upgrading the driver to the latest larbig driver that particular NIC is even better:)

Surely you know the name of your network? Otherwise why would you want to be connecting to someone else's network?

Are you sure that you need to Google SPK? My guess is that you want PSK ( Pre-Shared Key) instead.

I think the code should be
cd rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.2/Module
make && make install

Note the uppercase M!!

Picked up a Edimax 7318 on Amazon UK for 12 quid including p&p. Excellent dongle especially if you get the latest larbig drivers!:)

Might be best if you post the output from ipconfig or iwconfig. That would help folks help you.

maybe you could expand upon the statement
because that may help us help you.

I'd like to make a few points here. The advice about gathering as much evidence as you can is good. I have to assume that the owner of the laptop has made a complaint to the police, together with a...

I had the same problem. I recommend that you install the latest drivers for that chipset.

Search is your friend in this matter!

The known AP is "your" router. You will need to insert the MAC of your router.

The screengrab you have posted is less than useless as you have modified it!

Got it!!! Should have been cd'ing to rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.1 directory and then to Module!:):)

That'll teach me to take any command at face value without thinking things thru!

Thanks for your help...

OK I have repeated the process. file was downloaded to /root and extracted (using Ark)to the same directory. Heres the output in full.

I have already tried that. Same result!!

I'm trying to install the new driver as per the tutorial (BT3F installed to hdd) and keep running up against the following issue. I have extracted the driver to /tmp. Every time I try to run "cd...

As one noob to another- might I suggest that you try the "Search" function. Much use of that particular button will save you much embarrassment , both here and on other forums, in the future.

Why not do a reset on the router. That should reset all the settings to the BT defaults?
