your antennas are sma not rp-sma right? the antenna should be male

the red light (rtl) is the client it only lights when connected to an ap when using client mode. the blue light (ar) is your pineapple ssid and used by karma. maybe try client mode in the network tile instead of network manager and make sure you have done the update for the network tile or you may be having an encryption issue

looks cool but whats the project? what will you accomplish with the combination? what antennas are those?

Just to clarify my karma log is fine it shows everything but the Karma Intelligence Report show maybe one often nothing when I do have clients connected

sad, mine just updated with ups instead of usps

So I put that in a script for a dip switch and the pineapple ssid now comes back up but when I look at wifi manager both radios have their stock macs :-S

Ya you could always try putting it in a script and start with a delay

Thanks Seb,Any chance u can tell me how that should look?

I am running a script from my dip switch: ifconfig wlan0 down ifconfig wlan1 down macchanger -A wlan0 macchanger -A wlan1 ifconfig wlan0 up ifconfig wlan1 up I am guessing the issue is that dip switches run very late in boot order though and thats the problem with using dip switches to change your mac if you are not connecting with ethernet

anyone get this working? Ive tried but when I use macchanger in a dip switch it does not bring up the pineapple ssid after

ssh in and type ifconfig

thats weird cause i believe the online tracking is all they can see as well so if it says cleared it probably is they are just being slow and trying to blame customs. that seems to always be their excuse if they are late.

hmm sounds expensive maybe that why their fees are so high

Ill start with saying if this is a stupid question forgive me I tried to search and the mk5 is my first pineapple since a mk2 I built. So how does Karma Intelligence Report work? should it show active clients? or does it just display the last single association? For me it seems to display the last client that associated only and not always that if I'm the only client it show my info there for a few minutes but then if I look the list is empty, is that normal?

not a problem! I should also mention if your don't have an sd card in u may want to use longer times to log or save the log to an sd card if using >> as it will append to the file > will overwrite the file so it will not get larger. no idea how large the file will get but it would suck to use up all the free space and have to start all over again. that would just be a waste of pineapple juice.

works for me root@Pineapple:~# uptime > uptime.log root@Pineapple:~# ls uptime.log root@Pineapple:~# cat uptime.log 06:22:01 up 27 min, load average: 0.00, 0.13, 0.31 root@Pineapple:~#

if your wanting to just leave the pineapple running and see when it turns off maybe set a cron job to run every 15 minutes or so and have it save uptime to a file. that would be the least resource heavy way I think uptime > uptime.log or if you want to tax the system just a bit and use a little processor power you could do a loop in a .sh script and it will add teh uptime to the log every 60 seconds while true do uptime > uptime.log sleep 60 done or if you want to use a lot more processor power as if the mk5 was under load in the field you could have the system calculate pi between logging uptime first install bc opkg update opkg install bc to calculate pi and log uptime on the mk5 add this to a .sh script. this should create a new log entry every 8 minutes or so as it will calculate pi to 5000 digits between every log update. while true do uptime > uptime.log echo "scale=5000; 4*a(1)" | bc -l done and just for the hell of it if you want to know how the mk5 speed compares to a pc the mk5 should take about 8 minutes to calculate pi to 5000 digits my i7 macbook does it in 16.980 seconds, really not bad at all!

I have generally had good luck with dhl but usps is always the cheapest option so I tend to go with them when I'm not in any rush.

there should be tax but no duty. but ups has often charged me for that anyway I don't bother fighting with ups anymore I just don't ship with them whenever possible (why I asked for the travel kit to ship usps when it does ship) and if I do have to I add 30% of the items cost into the shipping if I still think its worth it I buy it and let them charge me. on several occasions I have had them refuse to release my packages that had no duty due and I self cleared through customs because they want their brokerage fee, Ive even had to get customs to call them and that is not an easy thing to do!

ok cool I wasn't sure if it could be affected by that or not

ok for a mrk5 with ups canada $20 but most was not customs rather ups fees

hopefully someone can help me out here... I thought I would play with macchanger and decided to change the mac of wlan1 so I did this from ssh: ifconfig wlan1 down macchanger -r wlan1 ifconfig wlan1 up so far so good I had a new mac.... then wlan1 reconnected to my home wifi in client mode however it lost its default gateway in the network tab so no internet access. In wifi manager it now showed radio1 - enabled no wlan1 and no new mac. below it did show it as being connected to my home ap I unplugged my mk5 and when I plugged it back in some hours latter my wlan1 mac was back to normal however it was now radio2.... in wifi manager: radio0 wlan0 enabled ##:##:##:##:##:## radio1 - enabled radio2 wlan1 enabled ##:##:##:##:##:## so thats a little weird.... a little confused as to why it will not reset the default gateway after changing the mac (it does get a ping-able ip on my local network) and very confused how I wound up with an extra radio edit: disconnecting and reconnecting did not reset the gateway, trying my other network did not get a gateway

Darren are you just deauthing every access point in range with aireplay-ng?

awesome! good stuff! you rock!

thanks a lot & glad you made it home safely!
