Problems connecting to WLAN
So Im trying to connect to a WLAN and have the correct key and such but the wireless assistant cant connect for some reason. Just FYI Im using the LiveCD version of BT3-Final with a broadcom integrated wireless card
It would be difficult to count the number of times this block of commands has been posted on this forum.
The variables to replace in these commands are <interface>, Network_Name, and WEP_KEYCode:rm /etc/dhcpc/* ifconfig <interface> down iwconfig <interface> essid "Network_Name" iwconfig <interface> key WEP_KEY ifconfig <interface> up dhcpcd –nd <interface>

I slept once, it was a Tuesday.
okay so that was no help at all. Also I have determined that it is not an ecryption problem as I also couldnt connect to my neighbors wireless network and he has no encrytion on it.
So....what do I need to do to connect because that block of commands didnt work as posted
The commands suggested by pynstrom should work provided that you use a supported wireless card. Could you kindly post the actual chipset model of the broadcom card that you use, as not all are supported, i.e. BCM4312 or BCM4318. Does the card work for you otherwise and have you made sure to put it into managed mode before you try to connect to the AP?Originally Posted by jaker29902
Also, please keep to your own AP and leave your neighbours alone.

I'm only going to give one warning in this matter. Connecting to a unauthorized network is illegal and we do not condone any illegal activities here.
My neighbor is my best friend and I have gotten previous permission to connect to his network so no problem there. Will check my chip type and post it up.
Just interesting, how do you define illegal? Because what is illegal in one country can be legal in other countries. If it's illegal in US than I'm pretty sure that nobody have heard of that in Russia or Africa at all for example

A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
Well the fact of the matter is we have rules on the forums so whether or not what your talking about is illegal in your country is irrelevant. Most of us who have been around the board for a long time have a code of ethics and morals which closely resemble the actual laws in countries such as the US or the UK which is where the primary base of members is. Therefore you are basically at the mercy of the people who run the board. If you don't like it there are plenty of blackhat type forums which you could subscribe to.Just interesting, how do you define illegal?

Just as a side note although I don't feel the need to defend my actions I only gave the guy a warning which did not result in any sort of penalty against his account.
