  1. The radio can connect directly to the laptop via ethernet cable, no router needed.  The problem is that it shows up as eth0 when I run ifconfig.  I get the same results with a ethernet to usb adapter.  I'm wondering if there isn't some way to get this to show up as wlan0 instead of eth0.  Perhaps that would be a good place to start.  I appreciate you taking the time to pass on your helpful suggestions.

     

  2. I understand the way it functions and when it is set up as a station it is in monitor mode and will tell you all of the access points in the area.  I'm in an isolated area and it would be useful to have a wifi adapter that would work over long distances.  I see it as an interesting challenge and an opportuniity to expand the options of useful wifi adapters.  The solution  may be on the programming side of things.

     

  3. I have a TP-Link tl-WA7210N outdoor accesspoint.  It has a rt 8187l chip  set, the same as the Alfa awus036h wirteless usb adapter.  This ap is programable as station or ap and can connect to wifi 12 kilometers away.  It sems like it would be very useful if it could somehow be adapted to use as a wifi adapter with Kali (for instance).  One of the problems I've run into is it is connected via ethernet cable.  I tried connecting the ethernet cable to a usb to ethernet adapter but when I run ifconfig in Kali it shows up as eth0 and doesn't show up when I run iwconfig.  Any ideas or starting points.  I live in a remote area and it would be nice to be able to have use of a truly long range adapter.  Thank you for any help or ideas you send my way.  

  4. I'm wondering why the manual for the pineapple is sold separate from the Pineapple.  It seems like it should be included.  They could at least have it as an e-book so it would be easier to access.  I just purchased the Nano Tactical and was surprised to see it only had a small piece of paper on how to set it up.
