  1. Kristof: From what I've gathered from reading peoples posts, irc, and my own experience, it's kind of hit or miss. My Mk3 usually functions fine on a USB battery, but sometimes I guess it can't draw enough power. I've also had different success rates with different cables. One that I made myself usually works fine, while a factory made cable doesn't always work...

  2. bobtheman: Not exactly. If you are closer to the "possible" client, karma will respond to the probe request before the "legitimate" AP. Therefore, he will join your network instead of the "legitimate" one. This might be thwarted however if the "legitimate" AP broadcasts a stronger signal. Then it is pretty much luck of the draw. :)

  3. I just got my mark 4 in the mail today and I tried reseting it and then flashing it. When I am running Freifunk Ap51 EasyFlash, I keep getting the error " stderr:Non ARP received. Make sure the device is connected directly. " I am using the plug it came with and ive tried with two different Ethernet cables. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance.

    Edit: Apparently pewpew beat me to it. I get distracted easily... :D

    Download the new firmware from: http://wifipineapple.com/doku.php?id=mk4firmware

    Boot up the pineapple.

    Navigate to 172.16.42.1/pineapple in your webbrowser

    Click on the Upgrade tab

    Click browse

    Select the upgrade.bin file

    Click Upgrade

    Let the pineapple work its magic!

    *DO NOT UNPLUG IT WHILE FLASHING*

  4. So, after some testing, I noticed it wasn't working on my Mk3 either. I opened up my taping job and found the the soldered wired had melted through the electrical tape.

    The white spot in the middle of the tape is where this had happened. Once I separated the 2 wires, it ran fine...

    My Mk3 ran last night until until the battery ran out. My Mk4 has been running fine for around 45 min now...

    (Yes, I suck at soldering :) )

  5. Could you imagine putting a pineapple on a huge antenna somewhere that high? Have always fancied playing with wifi, a large antenna and a high building, not got round to it yet.

    That would be EPIC digininja! The only problem with tall buildings is that birds like them and if it has weird access, you could find yourself walking through a few inches of bird poo everywhere you step. (Unfortunately, yes, I do know this from experience) You should definitely play around with it someday. It's fun!

  6. Darren has on order a few different types of cables/adapters to test and he will have them in the HakShop when he finds one he likes.

    As Mr-Protocol said.

    Also, make sure that if you order one, it comes w/ the cable too and not just the USB part....

    (just a suggestion of course) :P
