stepking2

I tried that, didn't work. But I think I've found the problem. Airodump-ng isn't reporting that it has found a handshake, but looking through the pcap file comfirms all EAPOL messages and the file is not damaged.

So, the problem I have is that Ubuntu, specifically network related proccesses, kills my monitor interface, so I can't capture any packets (handshake, spesifically). When running Airmon-ng, it says that some proccesses can stop Airodump-ng, Aireplay-ng etc. from working. I've tried killing those proccesses, but no change. Then I tried stopping networking, both with init.d and service. Service did not stop anything and init.d killed Unity. So, does anybody have a clue?

I would have probably went with the 036NHA, because it has an Atheros chipset. And as most people know, Atheros makes the best and most stable chipsets ever. I have the 036NHA and I can confirm that it works, plug and play, in both Ubuntu and BT5 VM.

You should not use Ubuntu if you are going to do wireless hacking, rather do a HDD install of BackTrack. The networking services in Ubuntu kills your monitor interface, so you won't capture any packets,

That's wierd, mine is working perfectly in BackTrack guest, Ubuntu is the host though.

Have you tried a different USB cable? Does it appear in iw/ifconfig?
