the command should be
ifconfig wlan0 up
then use the wifi manager but keep in mind, its buggy so its best to just use kismet to find networks, then manually configure your card to connect to whatever one you want.
ipw3495 - strange problem
Hi!
Ok, ive used the search button and followed a LOT of guides. But non of them are working.
Im using a Dell XPS M1530 with a intel pro wirless 3496.
Ok, this is my problem= Backtrack detects my card. But i cant use it.
Ive tried to load the raw driver with spoondrv but it still doesnt work. Ive tried to bring it up and down. Heres the code:
"bt ~ # ifconfig -a
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
LOOPBACK MTU:16436 Metric:1

As you can see the card is there. But whenever i try thw wireless manager it just says "no networks was found".
I tried to bring this "wmaster0" down but it wont work. Any clues?

ifconfig wlan0 up

This is a hackers forum :P
root ~# aircrack-ng pwnd-01.cap
Lenovo Thinkpad R500, OS: Ubuntu 8.10, BackTrack3, Windows XP (VirtualBox), Windows Vista, Windows 7 beta
No im sorry, that doesnt work either :/
Then it tells me:
bt ~ # ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Input/output error
Also Kismet wont fire up at all, cus of my card problem :S
I have the ipw3945 card too. To get my card to inject i simply
"modprobe -r iwl3945"
then
"modprobe ipwraw"
That works for me!
In your title you say you have ipw3495 in your post you say 3496.Originally Posted by n00b_h4xx0r
Was that a kind of double typo or is your card the intel pro wireless 3945(abg) ?
Which version of BT do you use?
However your card has a false recognized MAC so try to change it manually and fire it up again and see if it works.
Be sensitive in choosing where you ask your question. You are likely to be ignored, or written off as a loser, if you:
* post your question to a forum where it's off topic
* post a very elementary question to a forum where advanced technical questions are expected, or vice-versa
* cross-post to too many different newsgroups
* post a personal e-mail to somebody who is neither an acquaintance of yours nor personally responsible for solving your problem
Try typing 'dmesg' in the console and seeing what the log has to say about iwl3945.
Either you've got the ipwraw module loaded instead (special driver for iwl3945 that's no good for actual internet) of the iwl3945 module, or you've got a bug involving the rfkill_switch feature being implemented imperfectly in linux kernels not that long ago.
if dmesg or lsmod seems to indicate ipwraw is loaded, do a modprobe -r ipwraw && modprobe iwl3945 and that should solve it. Do the inverse to ready the card for monitoring again.
when you use ipwraw for the 3945, it changes the interface to wifi0, it doesn't stay as wlan0. try that.
maybe your wireless card is off.
use hotkeys Fn + F2 to turn it on
or maybe you need to boot windows and turn it on with hotkeys then reboot your computer and then boot BT3
LoL what was that tip.
