The popular choice is the ALFA 36h. I have the 1000w version, and it works out of the box, with great range.

You dont think in three months you will be able to capture a handshake to crack? So you want to try and log in to the AP using a password list? Is this correct?

I read through a couple of those google results, as I had the same issue and was kind of curious what was suggested.

Alternately I just deleted the entry vga=317 all together. I run my usb...

Is your card channel hopping, or is set to one channel? Perhaps there is no networks on the channel your scanning. try running from a fresh boot, before you have tried to connect to any networks,...

I had a lot of issues installing/running BT4 by mounting the iso. Save yourself the headache, and download the VM image, and place it with your VM's, works out of the box.

plug it in to a wired ethernet connection, and type
$ dhclient start.
you should have wired internet going
but seriously consider getting a usb wifi card, regardless if you get your broadcom to...

your card isnt supported out of the box under bt4's default configuration (or most linux distro's for that matter). the only way to get it working is following one of the kernel upgrade guides.

someone posted the other day about this, and provided a work around for internal cards. It supposedly worked for connection purposes, but I dont think it was working for injection and stuff. Get a...

Good stuff. Any way to get a plain text, or MSword/openoffice? copy and pasting from the pdf seriously messes up the format

uhhh? very poetic post I guess. You must be using some type of translator.

what type of card/chipset are you using

just unzip the file, and place it where you store your VM's. Im my case, I store them in a folder called "Virtual Machines".
Open Vmware, click 'open', then direct it to the backtrack VMimage. i...

you would need a second AP, and either hardwire them together, or the AP have the ability to be set into repeater mode. google it. there is thousands of setup tutorials.

ifconfig
iwconfig

Maybe read these first before playing with aircrack, and learn a little about your wireless capabilities.

what happens now when you use it? What wireless card are you using? What happens with the USB wifi card plugged in at boot? what happens if you plug it in after boot?

do you mean setting up an ad-hoc station to expand the range.

Not sure your thoughts materialized to print like you intended, however if all AP's/clients have PWR as -1 then your driver doesn't support the PWR feature.


edit: little added info for you to...

what repositories do you have in your source list? This is what it should look like.

how did you try putting it into monitor mode?

Broadcom cards dont have much linux driver support, especially when it comes to monitor mode. get your self and alfa 36h. If you can get your...

When I looked at buying that card, Im pretty sure I remember the card not using the b43 drivers, but a ralink driver like RT2800?? You may have to blacklist the b43 if its getting in the way.

Yes you can, follow the regular tutorial for setting up backtrack, where you use fdisk to partition the usb. I usually size the fat partition at +2500M, and partition the rest of the drive as ext3,...

For the VM, make sure you plug it in after you boot up.

Im thinking your ALFA may be faulty if it wont connect to an open network. Has it ever connected, LInux/Windows or otherwise?

From what Ive seen posted in the past, a kernel upgrade in BT has always been discouraged as it breaks some things. Have you experienced any program issues/glitches. If it works without any hitches...

I finally got to play with my ALFA in VM.
