Ya get this bad boy
Works like a charm for me.

Same problem. tried 3 hak shop 4gb cruizers and a 16 gig cruizer.
-
My my, what a wealth of information you have there. Much appreciated friend. I better get started.
-
Awesome thanks, Any suggestions for a good subject of entry to start learning more about the need to know info about antennas?

Hey all,
I got the 9 dBi pole antenna from the hak shop and my question is whether i need to do anything other than substitute the new antenna on a device. Specifically do i need to set power options to optimize signal etc? The reason I ask is that i dont notice a significant increase in the area that I can observe traffic say with an external wireless card in monitor mode or something.
Thanks,

That work?

@Scanner Martel,
my turn to apologize for the delay (I have no excuse though. LOL)
would you please boot the pinapple, insert the usb drive and post the dmesg somewhere? (pastebin or something, no need to flood the forum with it) I need data in order to keep troubleshooting this with you :)
I actually sent in the pineapple to get it replaced. I just wanted to make sure there was nothing going on with that one unit that would be sending us all on a goose chase. I'll post the dmesg of the new fruit when I get it. Thanks a ton for all your help.

So why would the hakshop sell these san disks if they dont work with the pineapple?

@ sygo
Sorry for the delay. went on break and didnt bring my box.
Partitioning successful. Pineapple memory expansion not so much. Pretty much the same situation. Doesnt show up with df -h or free cmd.
Not sure if i was still supposed to run the mkswap cmd from the pineapple after already doing it in fdisk but after nothing showed up from df -h i ran the mkswap /dev/sda2 and got the same error message.
AHHHHHHHH this is driving me crazy. Do you think its possibly a faulty pineapple or is it more likely that im just screwing sumething up. I just want more space.
Is there any other info i can provide to help rectify the situation?
Thanks for your patience.

Ok road bump but I think this is on the right track. Heres where im hitting a snag
i get into fdisk. it shows 2 partitions sdb1 and sdb2
delete one and two just fine.
Command: n
select 'p' with value 1
heres where im diverging.
instead of
First cylinder (1-1322, default 1):
Which is what you have. Im showing
First sector (2048-7821311, default 2048):
Im assuming this is where the partition is supposed to start or something? is this a problem? I tried running through just ignoring this difference and I got an error when trying to create the EXT4 file sys. it said
mkfs.ext4: inode_size (128) * inodes_counts (0) too big for a filesystem with 0 blocks, specify higher inode_ratio (-i) or lower inode count (-N)
This is kinda confusing for me so if im not being clear or providing enough info let me know and ill try to give you a better view of whats going on. I really appreciate all your help. That tutorial is freaking awesome. I think if we get this kink worked out this could work.
let me know,

PLEASE

Try connect it to another linux computer and use disk utility to see what's going on.
What disk on key you use??
I did it on another desktop running Redhat in the computer lab at my school. Same problems.
-
you're right if lsusb lists the device it knows it's there, but it might not now what to do with it.
Lets try this:
after your pineapple has booted remove and reinsert the thumb drive and then do
dmesg | tail -f 50
you might see stuff that is irrelevant but eventually you'll see a line saying that you removed the USB device and then a lot of output referring to when you plugged it back in.
if you could paste that dmesg output here we might get a few more clues as to what is happening.
(I think that poster before me was trying to ask what brand/model/size thumb drive you're using)
Booted Pineapple. Let it settle. Then Unplugged USB for 5 seconds, plugged it back in and then..
root@Pineapple:~# dmesg | tail -f 50tail: can't open '50': No such file or directorytail: no filesAHHHHHH I just want something to work!!!Have you tried using a different flash drive? I have found that certain drives have trouble with the pineapple.
Yea Ive tried like 4 different USBs, all ones that ive seen working for other pineapples. Mostly SanDisk Cruizer 4 GB and 16 GB.
Anyone who feels like they have some ideas and are down to try it over the phone let me know and ill message you my #. If the problem gets resolved ill post it up here after. Otherwise keep the suggestions coming fellas. Dont give up on me.

Disk on key?
-
Thats the guide I said i was following already above. I have all those settings in the fstab configured. Any other suggestions?
Are you sure you used the
mkswap /dev/sda2
command?
Did you reboot your pineapple afterwards?
Yes I did. Thats my actual output above. The problem is that I shouldn't be getting a "no such file or Directory" in response to the command.
-
Connecting USB directly into pineapple and ac line into my laptop. Is there a cmd to manually mount it? It knows the device is there because its visible by the lsusb cmd.
-
root@Pineapple:~# ls /dev/sd*/dev/sda(the Response is pink) Does this mean that the USB isnt mounting?

Ive configured the 4 gb USB from the hakshop and the pineapple fstab as per Darrens Specifications in the Forum guide (http://forums.hak5.o...swap-partition/) . The USB is partitioned 80-20 split both are Ext4. When i plug the USB into the pineapple the USB light turns on and its visible via lsusb command. But when i SSH in and issue the mkswap /dev/sda2 command it returns
root@Pineapple:~# mkswap /dev/sda2

Really?? Nothing. Come on, I cant be the only one.
