For a while now I have been putting off the idea of moving on from my Mark 4 pineapple to the Mk5 due to times on postage and duty. Well late Monday evening I bit the bullet and ordered a MK5 along with a USB connection lead, on Tuesday I had a email from Hack 5 confirming my order had been shipped on Wednesday I got a text from DHL requesting a small amount of money for tax and I am talking less than 4GBP and on Thursday morning I had another text from DHL confirming my package will be delivered before 2.30 PM that day and true to their word it was. So don't think its going to take ages to arrive and cost a lot on tax. Thanks HACK 5 & DHL for a fantastic service.

Yes that would be the way to go I can vouch for the IBM X60 the on board wireless cards inject and thease notebooks can be picked up quite cheap now they run very well with just 2GB Ram I have 2 both duel core 1.8 and work very well with Back Box Linux and Kali Linux and as z3rocool states the Alfa AWUS036H is excellent, and if you want a good book to read on Aircrack-NG get yourself a copy of Vivek Ramachandran's book BackTrack 5 Wireless Penetration Testing, excellent book to get you started and you can do most of the lessons with any distro that has Aircrack-NG installed. If you cannot get a copy just google Security Tube thats his site and he does free online videos based on the book and goes further to the more advanced stuff. And of course you dont need another laptop as you could take the USB Memory stick route but if you do take the persistant install route that way you can save work across re-boots Kind Regards

Aircrack has a problem with WIN OS but can work with a bit of tweaking look at this link http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=aircrack-ng_suite-under-windows_for_dummies This will guide you through the whole procces if you dont fancy doing this download a linux distro such as Kali Linux which already has it installed and run it from a USB stick on your laptop. Good Luck

I guess you could download and install an earlier firmware and see if it works I am on 2.8.1 and I get the same issues that you get and I dont think you will find any logs as it does not install. If I want to deauth a client connected to a network I use aireplay-ng
