AE1000(Ralink RT2870) aireplay airodump no results

**AshraZ0** · 05-05-2011, 05:51 AM

Ok this is driving me bonkers. I've worked through all the guides to get the AE1000 working with backtrack. I can get the internet to work using the DHclient no problem. I can issue scan commands and come back with results but when it comes to airodump and aireplay I get absolutely no results. I'll give you as much info as I can right off the bat, unsure what exactly you'll need so please just ask if I miss something.

To me everything looks like its working. As for injection im not sure. But when issue command.
airodump-ng ra0

It will sit there hopping through channels but get no results. I may be wrong and this does involve injection which could be my issue but if its only scanning I should be at least picking up the wireless networks right?

When I issue command
root@bt:~# aireplay-ng -9 ra0
01:13:14 Trying broadcast probe requests...
01:13:15 No Answer...

Ive read several forums stating they were able to accomplish the task. One went so far as saying he got it to work with airoscript but stopped short of mentioning how he did it.

http://forum.aircrack-ng.org/index.php?topic=8027.0

When I went through airoscript commands ra0 was already detected so I wasn't having the issue he was. So I proceeded through the commands it offered. Ran a scan and as usual it produced the same results as airodump-ng ra0 command.

What is it that I am missing? From what I've read some people seem to be able to get injection to work with this WUSB. Im hoping im not mistaken.

Thanks in advance.

did you actually put your card into monitor mode with airmon-ng?

Yea I made sure it was in monitor mode

now when I tried to run a normal scan it wouldnt work. not sure if its some type of conflict between airmon or not

Code:

root@bt:~# iwlist ra0 scan
ra0       Interface doesn't support scanning : Invalid argument

Had to do this to get the scan to work again.

Code:

root@bt:~# ifconfig ra0 up
