[Getting the Pineapple to work with Mac]

MacBook Pro 15 inch, mid 2009 (macbookpro5,3), OSX El Capitan 10.11.3

Just to add my two cents worth to this thread on Mac OSX and the Tetra, I have got everything working following advice from this forum.

The Realtek driver (link here) is a bit tricky but once the most up-to-date is installed, things seem to work well.

ZTerm, although dated, works well and allows serial connection (second micro usb labelled UART), if that type of control is needed.

Internet sharing is easy with the Sharing tab in system preferences. I selected sharing the WiFi with the USB 10/100 LAN and added the following commands to a script to enable El Capitan to play nicely.

defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.nat NAT -dict-add SharingNetworkNumberStart 172.16.42.42

defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.nat NAT -dict-add SharingNetworkNumberEnd 172.16.42.200

defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.nat NAT -dict-add SharingNetworkMask 255.255.255.0

Great device. I am very happy with my Tetra.

Them last three lines were what I needed. Now ICS works flawlessly on El-Capitan natively.

[TETRA Upgrade Issue on Mac]

Hi and thxs for the quick reply,

Turns out it was just that I was trying to flash it with the wrong bin ! The setup page takes you directly to nano and I forgot to click the tetra tab > Don;t I feel like a n00b lol

Pilgrim.

I did exactly the same thing!

Just install these drivers:

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=55&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

and then plug in the tetra via micro USB.

bam. done.

Can I ask what OS you are using?

AFAIK, there is no way as of yet to get ICS working on El-capitan.

Getting the pineapple to work is easy, it's ICS which people are struggling with.

I've had a few people ask me about getting this to work natively on OSX. So far, i've had to tell them to hang on from buying until someone has a solution for El-Capitan.

Think I've worked out the problem and I feel rather silly now.

After you have pressed G and gone through the guided settings.

Make sure you then press C to actually connect using these settings.

I guess I made the assumption that pressing G would take care of this.

Now I can finally start having some fun with this device :)

Hi All,

Thought I'd post here as I spent about 8 hours last night and didn't get anywhere.

I Will say that I have plugged the tetra directly in to the router and have seen it working at a friends house so can safely eliminate any hardware woes.

Ideally, I wanted to share my wifi connection on OSX to my tetra via the usb-y cable. I knew this was going to be nigh on impossible but gained some hope when I saw this answer by winter_soldier.

ICS on El Capitan

Using the script here as a base : https://github.com/TGYK/OSXwp5

I had to change a couple of strings:

1) 1010* to 1011* to reference El Capitan

2) Change gateway IP to 172.16.42.2 (as 172.16.42.42 is already assigned to the USB interface)

3) Not using ethernet en0, the USB adapter ended up as en9 (I have many usb-adapters and BeagleBones), yours could be different. You'll have to identify your own interface (ifconfig) and adjust the script accordingly.

Script is here: http://pastebin.com/jPjD74Q0

I'm a bit lazy, many improvements could be made to this script to make it more user friendly.

Also full credit to TGYK.

However, the script kept failing when it hit the line

#Set DNS
networksetup -setdnsservers Ethernet $DNSIP $DNSALT
sleep 2

This I figured was because the Realtek USB drivers had named the connection 'USB 10/100 LAN'. I renamed my connection to Ethernet and then the script appeared to run successfully. Still no ICS though.

Ok, so it looked like it wasn't going to work on OSX, Nevermind, half expected that and was hopeful that it would work with Kali.

I downloaded the latest Kali Live CD from http://www.kali.org/downloads/ and loaded it up in to virtual box.

I changed my network adapter to bridged and loaded Kali without installing it.

I was now at the point where I had internet in Kali and could access the tetra on 172.132.42.1:1471. Great :)

To get ICS working i tried the following steps.

open terminal

1. wget wifipineapple.com/wp6.sh

2. chmod +x wp6.sh

3. ./wp6.sh

This brought up the wp6.sh script and I pressed G for guided.

Both the internet and pineapple settings looked correct and the script seemed to execute without error.

Unfortunately though, still no ICS in Kali!.
