-=Solved=- Problem with atheros

[Cyb3rh3b]

Hi,

I still haven't found any solution for this bugs. I use MacBook for installing bt3 and everything runs smoothly until problem occured with wireless connection.

02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5418 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)

The connection to AP used to disconnect. When it disconnect, i tried to re-scan the network but it failed, reload the drivers and tried to scan the AP network and it failed. First I thought something wrong with my AP but it's oke to other's machine. The solution i got for this problem now is *always* reboot the machine to get the wireless connection.

Anyone ever had this problem before?

Its not a bug...its your drivers. I'm moving to BT3 general. Update your madwifi drivers to fix the internet reconnection issues.

Have you even tried yo update your madwifi-ng drivers ?? Also wouldn't hurt to update your dev version of aircrack-ng to the newest version.



MADWIFI DRIVERS version 0.9.3.3
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mad...5&big_mirror=0

to install.....

ifconfig ath0 down
ifconfig wifi0 down
cd madwifi-0.9.3.3
cd scripts
./madwifi-unload.bash
./find-madwifi-modules.sh $(uname -r)
cd ..
make
make install
modprobe ath_pci

THATS IT!!

For the latest aircrack-ng suite Developmental version.....

svn co http://trac.aircrack-ng.org/svn/branch/1.0-dev/ aircrack-ng
cd aircrack-ng
gmake SQLITE=true
gmake SQLITE=true install

Download the kernel sources here>>

http://www.offensive-security.com/modules/kernel.lzm

Put them in your /root or "Home" directory (same thing)...and run the command....

 lzm2dir kernel.lzm /

.................................^^^......thats a space between kernel.lzm and the / symbol.

Never ran across that error. See what I bolded in your quote?? Try that. Specifically the last bolded line.
