Thank you very much for the clarification and for taking the time to reply. Your impression was correct. I thought the TETRA (connected via USB Y-cable to the ETH1 port) would behave in the same way as two Alfa AWUS036Nxx wireless adapters which would also be plugged via USB. I will give the openwrt.org link you provided a try and see if I get the TETRA to work the way I would like it to. Otherwise, I suppose I will have to use the TETRA's web interface and modules. Thanks!

Hi, I received my TETRA 3 weeks ago. Following Hak5 videos, I managed to connect to http://172.16.42.1:1471 and to use and load various modules through Firefox on a laptop running native Kali Linux. However, I am trying to use the TETRA as 2 antennas (1 to monitor, 1 to inject) using Terminal. I have been trying to troubleshoot the my TETRA to do this seemingly simple task for the last 3 weeks. I have looked through the Hak5 forums, I searched innumerable keyword combinations to find answers to specific problems, and I am still stuck... So I feel it is time for me to ask for some input from more knowledgeable users. Going back to the basics, here is what my system looks like: root@root:~# lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Kali Description: Kali GNU/Linux Rolling Release: kali-rolling Codename: kali-rolling My dry-loop ADSL is connected via cat5e cable directly in the TETRA. The TETRA receives power via both 12V DC and the USB Y-cable connected to the ETH1 port. The TETRA displays the steady yellow LED (RJ45 is plugged in) and the steady blue LED. I am writing this post using this setup (ie. not from a different machine). Running "ifconfig" while my TETRA is not connected to my laptop via the Y-cable, I get: root@root:~# ifconfig eth0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether b8:6b:23:d5:8b:14 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 47227 bytes 57879819 (55.1 MiB) RX errors 0 dropped 1 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 29694 bytes 3159545 (3.0 MiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 device interrupt 20 memory 0xe4400000-e4420000 lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host> loop txqueuelen 1 (Local Loopback) RX packets 230 bytes 16362 (15.9 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 230 bytes 16362 (15.9 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.15.106 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.15.255 inet6 fe80::9f2d:c539:5bfe:b755 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether b4:b6:76:31:77:84 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 3859 bytes 1070183 (1.0 MiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 299 bytes 53455 (52.2 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 Running "ifconfig" while my Tetra is connected to my laptop via the Y-cable, I get: root@root:~# ifconfig eth0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether b8:6b:23:d5:8b:14 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 47227 bytes 57879819 (55.1 MiB) RX errors 0 dropped 1 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 29694 bytes 3159545 (3.0 MiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 device interrupt 20 memory 0xe4400000-e4420000 eth1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 172.16.42.224 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 172.16.42.255 inet6 fe80::213:37ff:fea6:3c06 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 00:13:37:a6:3c:06 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 893 bytes 315394 (308.0 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 1167 bytes 424293 (414.3 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host> loop txqueuelen 1 (Local Loopback) RX packets 234 bytes 16518 (16.1 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 234 bytes 16518 (16.1 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.15.106 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.15.255 inet6 fe80::9f2d:c539:5bfe:b755 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether b4:b6:76:31:77:84 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 4181 bytes 1153216 (1.0 MiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 324 bytes 57219 (55.8 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 So I deduce the TETRA is "eth1", and it is "up". However, when I run "iwconfig", I get: root@root:~# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth1 no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"My ESSID" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: C8:D7:19:EB:AC:15 Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality=50/70 Signal level=-60 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:1 Invalid misc:104 Missed beacon:0 So, eth1 shows "no wireless extensions". At this point, I should mention that I have already run "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" to ensure Kali is running all the latest files and drivers. When I run "airmon-ng start eth1", I get: root@root:~# airmon-ng start eth1 Found 4 processes that could cause trouble. If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after a short period of time, you may want to run 'airmon-ng check kill' PID Name 537 NetworkManager 606 wpa_supplicant 5836 dhclient 7395 dhclient PHY Interface Driver Chipset phy0 wlan0 iwlwifi Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24) So, I run "airmon-ng check kill", and I get: root@root:~# airmon-ng check kill Killing these processes: PID Name 606 wpa_supplicant 7395 dhclient If I run "airmon-ng start eth1" again, I get: root@root:~# airmon-ng start eth1 PHY Interface Driver Chipset phy0 wlan0 iwlwifi Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24) To my understanding, "wlan0" is my laptop's wireless adapter. So, what could be the problem? I updated/upgraded pretty much everything, so I doubt the driver is at fault. If I run "lsusb" with the TETRA's USB Y-cable connected to my laptop, I get:: root@root:~# lsusb Bus 004 Device 003: ID 08ff:168b AuthenTec, Inc. Bus 004 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp.

So, I deduce "Device 10" is the TETRA. Running "lsusb -t", I get: root@root:~# lsusb -t /: Bus 04.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ehci-pci/3p, 480M |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/8p, 480M |__ Port 5: Dev 3, If 0, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=, 12M /: Bus 03.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ehci-pci/3p, 480M |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/6p, 480M |__ Port 3: Dev 3, If 0, Class=Video, Driver=uvcvideo, 480M |__ Port 3: Dev 3, If 1, Class=Video, Driver=uvcvideo, 480M /: Bus 02.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/4p, 5000M /: Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/4p, 480M |__ Port 3: Dev 5, If 0, Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=usbhid, 1.5M |__ Port 4: Dev 10, If 0, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=r8152, 480M I find that the driver for Device 10 (TETRA) is r8152. After checking around, it appears my laptop is using the latest revision of this driver. So, I am not running a VM, but a native, updated/upgraded Kali-rolling, and I can't get my TETRA to work in Terminal using airmon-ng, airodump-ng or aireplay-ng. Can anyone suggest where I should investigate next? Thank you all for any help/recommendation you can provide.
