Something is fishy with the Alfa's grounding. Using the factory...

Point taken but that's where you'd stick "conclusions"/established knowledge. There's no scope for discussion - questions, news etc. (Non)Working Hardware isn't right either.

Nice easy howto for the newcomers. Win.
Also kudos for making the video in something other than Flash. I'm sure I'm not the only one who refuses to install Flash under Windows.

FYI for the win32...

Apart from bt3/bt4-specific hardware which doesn't seem to be appropriate, there's not really a spot to discuss one of the biggest topics - wireless hardware. New section - Wireless Hardware? Or just...

Regarding bell-curve txpower, I've seen the same results on other devices, the one I worked most with was the Asus WL-500g AP (busybox). I performed dBm tests and it showed a power dropoff above a...

FWIW (you may already be aware of this) but work has been done using the PS3 console against MD5, with some pretty decent results. A few different projects are around for this, IIRC including a...

FWIW, McDonald's "Restaraunts" in Australia this year deployed *free* Wifi internet access to almost all sites.. http intercept for the first request for a EULA/T&C page then 50MB per session.

I think it's accepted that the intel 3945/4965 are deprecated for BT use.
I may be wrong but PCIe (including miniPCIe) support is limited/non-existent in kernel (especially the older kernel used in...

Archive sounds excellent..

FWIW I don't think any expresscard WLAN adapters are compatible at this time. Kernel support is severely lacking, and the vendor drivers are unlikely to support the required features. It seems the...

SUGGEST THREAD MOVE TO NON-WORKING HARDWARE

It appears a patch has been developed and submitted to the kernel group. Doesn't seem to be been listed for commit to to trunk yet, but here it is (add...

As far as I could tell, the HCL was fairly BT2-specific which was why I didn't want to edit my changes into it.
Card compatibility under BT3 will vary with driver/kernel development between now and...

Recognised but inoperative for packet injection - rendering it only useful as a normal client interface. No practical wlan auditing possible. iirc intel stated 'wontfix' and put it back to the...

Inserting after boot dmesg: "pcmcia_socket0: time out after reset."

Repro on Latitude D830 with Hermes I.

Under BT3 beta, X works fine with D830/Quadro NVS 140M here. Dunno about 'cube' whatever that is, but the X gui (kde?) loads no probs. and without any extra modules loaded.
