WICD Connexion failed bad password wep

[Axel57000]

Hello.

I'm using Backtrack 5r2 and i cannot connect in internet

My wifi card controler is an Atheros AR9462 and i've an Acer Aspire v3 571G.

When I enter the password, wicd says : Connexion failed! bad password. I enter the good password, I dont understand.

So I've an other problem, when i want to put my BT in french, i've "no such file or directory" for many files!

Thanks for the answers.

Axel.

Well, try this:

Remove ath9k module (Kernel should have loaded that module for your wifi card): modprobe -r ath9k or rmmod ath9k any of these 2 commands will remove it.
Then, load it again with hardware encryption disabled: modprobe ath9k nohwcrypt=1

Try again...

Hi, when I first started on BT I had the same issue. Just to work out what you have tried, in the drop down box have you selected a different WEP method i.e. hex key etc etc

Hello. Thanks it works but I need to repeat this operation when I reboot the computer...

Yes, this is standard on BT it won't auto connect so as to remain stealthy and not send probes out to the router which can be detected by IDS and IPS etc etc

Hello. Thanks it works but I need to repeat this operation when I reboot the computer...

Edit the file: nano /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf and add this line: options ath9k nohwcrypt=1 Then save and exit. It should do it. Reboot.

Also you can do: echo "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf

Luck.
