2915abg

[zipkatz]

I've read the wiki and I have done what I can to follow steps precisely. My problem is that I can not get the packet injection to work. I successfully boot to backtrack using from a USB thumbdrive.

airmon-ng start eth1
it says "monitor mode enabled" Oddly, when I enable the monitoring, the name does not change

airodump-ng eth1
it finds my (and other) access points and shows my beacons

aireplay-ng -9 eth1
Trying broadcast probe requests...
No Answer...

I made sure airmon-ng was using the same channel as my AP - airmoin-ng start eth1 11 check kill

When I run iwconfig it says Mode:Monitor

I am told that I should not see eth1, I should see mon0, or something like that.

My card is an Intel 2915ABG. According to the wiki for compatibility drivers it says ipw2915 uses ipw2200 driver. It also references a tutorial - Basic injection with ipw2200 and BackTrack v2 for beginners which references further updates to be made to do injection. Are these updates already in Backtrack?

Any ideas?

It looks like you are trying to run your commands against the on board NIC. Can you post the output of

iwconfig

After you have your wireless card installed.

I am not sure what you mean by "after you have your wireless card installed",

This is my airmon-ng results:

root@bt:~# airmon-ng start eth1

Additional information about my issue:

Is there any other troubleshooting data that would help me determine my problem?

Oh, I was assuming this was a usb dongle. I guess it is internal. Do you have a wireless usb dongle you can put in to test and see if it works and not use the internal wireless? First time I have seen a wireless interface with the ethX name....you should have wlan0/wlan1...etc and when you run airmon-ng start you should get a mon0 or a mon1 interface.... Good luck!

creepykrawler - good info - that should help my research, thanks.
