Also I still don't understand what causes the Decloak issue, but I can confirm the Alfa works OK in BT5. I found the problem was with the certain attack methods I was using.

Not sure if this is your situation but when you install BackTrack via Virtual Machine you won't be able to use the normal hardware inside your machine like your built in WiFi card, graphics card,...

Sorry I better explain things a bit further.

The commands I posted I took from the official aircrack Wiki as an example of what I was using. I am not using my Ethernet Adapter for injection (lol)....

I figured out what was causing the Decloak message to appear on the airodump-ng capture.

When running the fake association command such as:


aireplay-ng -1 6000 -o 1 -q 10 -e teddy -a...

Nice thread hijack there.

According to airmon-ng the module it loads is rt2800usb. I did perform an injection test with it and it said it worked, I was also able to fake associate with my test AP I have.

I have never had a...

I recently purchased an Alfa AWUS036NH USB WiFi Adapter but keep hitting a problem with captures via airodump-ng (Aircrack).

I have a old router lying around which I use for testing, I set it to...

Your very welcome :), thanks for taking the time to report back!

Great I'll update the wget line in the original thread! Regarding boot splash I believe the vga parameter needs to be set on the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line (e.g. vga=791) for it to work, however...

@porter08 Great glad its working! I will add some notes in the original thread about the possibility the xorg.conf conflicting with the i915 module. Its absolutely fine to leave the xorg.conf.bak...

No problem :)!

@Malachai

You are most welcome, glad it worked for you!

@porter08

Try removing the vga=791 from your GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line re-run the update-grub command and then reboot. The vga...

This guide offers an alternative method of loading the i915 driver in the 3.2.6 kernel without adding unsupported PPA's or using packages which are not from the official BackTrack repositories.
...

Well it seems the i915 module is present in the 3.2.6 kernel at least. Without modifying any software sources or adding PPA's I did:


modprobe -r nouveau
modprobe i915


(This was in a serial...

This may be a stupid question but with all the problems that many notebooks have with regards to NVIDIA drivers and Optimus within BackTrack is it possible enable CUDA capabilities without messing...

After recently performing the R1 > R2 upgrade process I noticed that the symbolic links to the kernel for initrd.img and vmlinuz are not updated and will still point to the older 2.6.39.4 kernel....

Found out you can simply edit the file: /etc/issue

And change it to R2 manually, you can make it say anything you want in reality, doesn't look like the upgrade process modifies the file.

Try running rfkill list to see if your wireless interface has been blocked.

I noticed this too and my upgrade was successful also. I followed the guide here to make sure I was doing everything correctly:
...

I upgraded from R1 and use an encrypted USB stick and had no problems. Things to try:

Check the hashalot and lvm2 packages are installed.
Check your fstab and crypttab files.

Something bad has...

I can't get the i915 driver loaded in the 3.2.6 kernel no matter what I try. It loads fine when I boot the older 2.6.9 kernel, but the 3.2.6 kernel doesn't load it and my graphic session is stuck at...

Wondering if anyone can help me. I'm running BackTrack 5 R2 (Persistent USB install), I upgraded from R1 via apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade everything went fine but I cannot get the Intel...

When I refresh the sources on Software Updates via KPackageKit I get the following error:
