Rotunda

Sounds good i will certainly re flash it I still don't get why it got stuck though? any ideas? heres the part i get stuck at? i've tried several times now? my ip is 172.16.42.42 and the device is 172.16.42.1

they ship very quickly :) Sorry i will search in future.. my bad, anyway i don't have a volt meter. I'm pretty sure its putting out the desired voltage as the lights come on perfectly whereas if i used cheapy battery in the battery pack you could see the lights flickering due to the poor amount of power.. Perhaps i should hack it up and combine the 2 usb headers to the one barrel and give it x2 5v leading it to 10v?? or would it not work like that? i'm just thinking along the lines of some USB devices i have seen in the past which plug into 2 usb ports to power it.

Thanks for the link. It takes multiple tries? i tried about 4 times then i got worried i would brick it so gave up... I followed all the tutorials on here and MrProtocol's you tube video... Good news on 2.0, what are the main issues with 1.0.2?? Off topic but on that link you gave me, this sucks!

Does anyone here use USB to power there mrk iii? I got this for the pineapple: eBay link but its not actually powering it? the lights stay on fine etc but i cant seem to get the thing to ping or bring up the interface but on battery power it will??? Does anyone have a working equivalent as my battery pack is soooo unreliable!

Hello all I've been having some really wierd issues with my wifi pineapple... It wont work half the time... some times i can run wp3.sh and it will work flawlessly other times i have to try over and over until it will ping and let me in... It's really acting strange and it makes experimenting in public hard... I have a number of questions also that i would like answered if possible: 1, Do you have to run wp3.sh every time you start from a fresh cold boot etc or is it just to setup ICS etc...? Reason i ask is i only ever seem to be able to connect to the interface IF i run wp3.sh?? 2, Is the 1.0.2 firmware stable and fully functional as i tried karma on mine and it didn't really seem to be very effective? I'm not sure if it is actually working? 3, I tried flashing it to 1.9 but it got stuck at a point where it was saying something about your ip is 192.168.0... when i made sure the ip was 172.16.42.42??? Luckily it didn't brick it... what is going wrong here? 4, do i REALLY need to flash it? or is 1.0.2 fine to use? i hate flashing things!! Any advice greatly appreciated!

Interesting point! I know for a fact mine is the connector as when i keep it in a curtain position its fine. One thing i also thought about, the previous post about usb to barrel connector, USB is just 5v so how would usb power the AP51 if its 12v ?! I've ordered a 5.5mm barrel to usb cable to give it a go anyway as its far better to use than the bulky battery pack which in my case does sod all anyway lol

I too gave up on it and this is coming from a massive fan of the duke nukem 3d series! It just wasn't duke nukem at all... it was more like playing call of duty with a duke nukem mod/skin... Having to hide for your "ego" to refill... fun idea but it ISNT DUKE! its a call of duty thing, why copy it?! Not being able to hold all your guns... wtf were they thinking!? Only parts i really enjoyed was the first part, straight into the previous boss with the devastators, good times! and also... non-pixely BOOBS! :) apart from that though... really sucked, wasn't duke nukem at all... Such a shame really...

Mine fits perfectly its just the wires that are dodgy and cause it to turn off randomly. that would be helpful! do you have a link to the one i would need?

Hi all not sure if this is the right place to post this but i've been having issues with my battery pack since day one?? i have to jiggle the wire around to get it to actually work? is this a common issue? im guessing the solder up by the actual socket it abit poor or something??? any fixes for this?

Hey Darren! Thanks for your reply. Don't worry these things happen I guess. I have sent you an email @ the hak shop to see what solutions you may have. Thanks again bud :) p.s. Seb, good work on the firmware! B) EDIT: Quick update from me, some how the pineapple has jumped back to life after resetting the device via the botton on the back. I've been able to ping it and access the control panel now which is great news! It's running version 1.0.2 of the OS are there any updates that i should give it? Thanks for the help guys! Hopefully it will remain stable now

Indeed! they stopped making them didn't they? I love Alfa hardware! :D

Thats good to know i wasn't aware it had a little boot loader before the actual OS... i can see what you mean byt bricking it being pretty hard to do. I can now for some reason ping the unit and its not disconnecting me at all but it still wont let me into the control panel. I guess it is borked... shame if i knew this before i could of just bought a AP51 and flashed it myself like i'm clearly going to have to do anyway... awesome...

That kinda sucks then...! I only got it today and it's been switched on once.... <_< I'm running back track 5 R1 Things I've done so far: I've checked the ethernet cable, stable I've tried logging onto the pineapple with a static IP which allows me to connect to it for about 3 - 15 seconds before i get chucked off again Running DHCP = no connection AT ALL! This sucks... :( Edit: I was worried you would say that... Flashing isn't my strong point and I'm hearing alot of storys about bricking :( Is it hard to flash the pineapple? I really don't want to risk bricking it... How can i flash it without being able to connect to it?

Hey all First off, hats off to hak5 for there speedy shipping to the UK with my Pineapple! Also thanks for the hak 5 stickers too! :D My netbook loved them. Anyway I got it all hooked up and read abit of the manual, ran wp3.sh left everything standard and then once complete i logged into the (awesome) bbs style control center! Then i had to nip out and do something so i unplugged it and did what i needed to do. Came back this evening to begin more tinkering and now i cannot seem to access the control panel? I can ping the pineapple on its default IP but no joy with the control panel??? I've tried getting DHCP no joy! Tried a static IP, no joy also! I've noticed the LAN/WAN light is going on and off alot too?? EDIT: Ok Scratch that things are getting abit worse now haha... It's not even recieving pings now and when i try to connect to it via eth0 the network manager shows constant disconnects? i can connect it and about 3 seconds after it will always disconnect me? Any ideas??

Thanks bud :) Aww bad times! I sold mine in the end for a fairly good profit! Mod the nes controller? no need, did you know you can use the original ports and controller and solder the original port to a parallel port and it will work with a PSX controller driver and a number of emulators! :D i did it to mine it was so cool! playing mario land on it with the original controller and ports it was really fun!

Good info! Thanks bud! Well mine is on its way so i will do alot of tests with it and see how it goes... All legit of course :P

Ladies n Gents... I thought I would share this with you! My NES mod :) http://www.sapphiresupport.co.uk/projects/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4'>http://www.sapphiresupport.co.uk/projects/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4 see http://www.sapphiresupport.co.uk/projects/ for all my other cool little projects / hacks / various other stuff I look forward to any comments! :D Enjoy :)

I've not done it myself but it is possible... http://linitx.com/product/12181

Very fair point! It doesn't really bother me either way i was just surprised it wasn't explained abit more in the promo vids or hak5 shows. Its a great little unit regardless and i praise the developers on their work :D

Now I've been planning to purchase a Pineapple since the mark 2 days... I've watched every video relating to it both on hak 5 and curtain special promo vid's Darren made... And not one of these gave me the impression you needed OPEN networks on the "victim" for this to work?! i assumed it would work on at least WEP... Hmm...

Damn that sucks! Looks like i ordered my mark 3 Pineapple just in time! What does this mean for the future of Pineapples?
