Nmap breaks my connection

[Shaamaan]

I've got a WPA secured connection (used to be WEP, but when I saw how easy it was... ), and when I run nmap <some IP> the whole thing goes south.

Here's what I do:
Console 1:
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Console 2:
dhclient eth1
(Gets IPs and all...)
nmap 192.168.0.4 (my other computer)
At this point I just get:
Starting Nmap 4.50 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2007-12-28 18:42 GMT
and it stays forever. If at this point (or after I ctrl-c nmap) I try to open any site or ping the router, it fails. Another dhclient eht1 command won't get any data. I need to stop and restart wpa_supplicant to make it work again.

All this is on my laptop (BT3 beta on HDD) with a MN-720 (Broadcom) wifi card. Also, if I try the same on my PC running BT3 from the CD, everything is OK.

What gives?

POS broadcom card maybe? Do you have another card to try it on?

Try nmap with some arguments

nmap -T Aggressive -sV -P0 192.168.0.4


*Broadcom sucks*

Aye, I'm really starting to hate that card. However, before I buy any other, I need to be 100% sure it's gonna work as intended. I tried the WUSB54GC which, supposedly, people have been succesful with. Well, I haven't.

Also, pureh@te, nmap WILL work with other arguments, yes. A simple host ping will, for example, work.

However, I'm trying to get this to work with autopwn, in which case, it just doesn't cut it.

Have you tried rel1ks auto pawn in his fasttrack script which uses sqlite3? much better in my opinion plus rekl1k rocks and its a great script/tool anyway.

That's EXACTLY what I'm using.
