Nobody seems to know the solution.: Freeze on monitor mode. VMWare BT3F. Alfa RTL8187

[dani0101]

Hi people.

Can't solve that problem since long days.
btw. this probelm only appears in the VMWare version. No problem with the cd-version:

BT3F-VMWare + monitor mode = freeze
No problem with the BT3F cd-version.

Sometimes, with much luck and after long waiting it pass and set the cardin monitor mode like it should. But mostly not.

I use
+ VMWare workstation v6.5.1
+ fresh downloaded BT3F VMWare
+ alfa RTL8187 wifi usb card

When you say it freezes, does the whole OS freeze, or just the terminal? Are you accessing the VM through the console or SSH?

I am going to assume that you are running windows as your host OS and you are using the console, if you use Putty, can you SSH into the image while it is "frozen"?

only the console freeze, not the OS.

I use the console, no SSH, no putty.
