I will use that in the future :) Thanks again for fixing this so quickly!

Thank you very much :) I am glad to see such fast iterations on such an awesome set of tools. I am especially happy to see a community that helps people when they have problems rather than approach newcomers with an elitist attitude. And that goes just as much for the hak5 team in responding to problems. You guys are awesome.

I posted this in a separate thread, but I wanted to put this here in the official "fix client mode problems" thread. I was having client mode problems that I was eventually able to fix on my own. It required manual intervention and will likely require me to do it again if I use a different network. TL;DR: If your SSID has a plus sign (+), you have to manually edit /etc/config/wireless and fix the appropriate "option ssid" Networks that have a plus sign (+) write to /etc/config/wireless incorrectly. There is a space instead of the + and so wlan1 just dies and won't do anything. SSH'ing to the pineapple and manually updating the "option ssid" in /etc/config/wireless after you have chosen your network in the network box will fix the problem. This could potentially affect more than just SSID's with a +, but hopefully this is enough to at least start tracking it down. Alarial

I was having a helluva time getting client mode to work on my new Mark V. No matter what I did, wlan1 would not light up red and show me that it was trying to do anything. In fact, it would turn off after I enabled it and tried to connect in client mode. (soooo frustrating on something that should be so easy, right?) I spent a good bit of time reading through the forums and saw many topics dealing with similar issues. Some of the fixes talked about doing factory resets or forcing a fix of your wireless settings through ssh. I tried all of the above many times ;) They all had the same effect: No fixy fixy :( Eventually I noticed something odd in my /etc/config/wireless. I have a network that has a plus sign (+) in the SSID. /etc/config/wireless listed a space in the place where the + should be. On a hunch, I manually edited the file and replaced the space with the +. I rebooted the Mark V and voila! I had internet! :) For the first time since I received the device, I could finally connect to the outside world! Anyway, I was pretty happy. Even though the SSID scan listed the network correctly, apparently there was a problem parsing that character and writing the file. I will make sure to post this in the client connection problem thread I saw earlier. Hopefully this can help someone else out that is banging their head against the wall/keyboard/pet/whatever. Alarial
