Darren,
I think what is happening is this: The iPad will stay connected as long as the pineapple is already running with no mac addresses blacklisted and I connect to the Pineapple AP on the iPad. If I enter the mac in the blacklist, it stays connected, but if the iPad goes out of range, or I disconnect, and try to re-connect, I am blocked. If I reboot the pineapple, it keeps the mac in the blacklist, so the iPad can't connect once the pineapple is running (even if Karma is no longer running). This means that I cannot keep my iPad in the blacklist or I have no control of pineapple while deployed (from iPAD).
Here is a section of the syslog:
Here is the Karma-phy0.log
Thaks again for your help...I'm trying to learn from the pros how to use the device to its potential
