Hi everybody.
I'm in that situation where i've been searching the internet for solutions for days, and tried almost everything ( i say almost, because obviously i haven't tried the things that works yet...).
So a little introduction:
Current system: BT5 32-bit - kernel 2.6.38 - a Dell M1530 with an intel Pro 4965 wireless.
The issue:
I have an issue with Aircrack-ng.
I am stuck at channel 1, at all times. i can't make it go to channel 4, for instance. It always says "Fixed Channel mon0: 1".
What i have discovered so far:
Everyone agrees that this is a driver issue. Hence everyone with similar problems gets the "update your compat-wireless driver" like this <insert instructions here> (Because there is literally hundres of ways to do that apparently).
And it feels like i have tried them all, without success.
So this is what i have done:
1)
Code:
Downloaded the newest version of compat-wireless
wget http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/channel-negative-one-maxim.patch
sudo apt-get install patch
patch ./net/wireless/chan.c channel-negative-one-maxim.patch
make
sudo make install
sudo make unload
sudo reboot
2)
- Similar as 1) except with another patch + the channel-negative-one-maxim.patch
3)
- Similar as 1) and 2) except no patches used.
4)
Reinstall aircrack-ng, and made sure it is version 1.1 (which i am currently still not sure about... but i guess/hope that is standard with BT5)
What usually fails:
I've gotten quite a few errors trying the things mentioned above, currently i can only remember this particular one though:
when i try "make unload" i usually get something about 'compat' in use, and then a "FATAL"-error...
Skipping a step:
Whomever will chose to help me here will probably ask for the following
