Apologies for the blog-spam: Fonera 2.0 on Sale Soon

Very slick sir. That'll have to be for next pay day.

Good stuff there, but I need these pigtails: mmcx to n male pigtail rp-sma male to n male pigtail so that I can also use the antenna with an ubiquiti src and an alfa awus036h. Also a good episode of systm (great show, been following it from the beginning), but I made up my parts list, based on links within this engadget article: Build a WiFi biquad dish antenna Thanks for the advice though. Data-Alliance is indeed an awesome resource.

I've got a parts list made up: direct tv dish (the auction has ended, but you can find similar) biquad feed horn custom cable (10') w/ n male and n female ends rp-sma male to n male pigtail I'm going to give it a try and see how well it works with Jasager.

Thought this was interesting. Wish I had time + money to go. La Fonera Lab

First of all you are not an idiot. Next take a look at this. I haven't tried this myself, but I'm going to assume (and also ask anyone who can answer) that you could have a tiny Linux distro, set up as a virtual machine, inside a physical Linux distro to perform the task of masquerading, without mucking around with the settings of the host machine.?

Hallo, Regarding your question about ICS with a wired connection between your Fonera and your laptop, the answer is yes you can. It makes no difference whether you're setting it up wired or wirelessly.

Have a look here. Do your homework and make sure the one you choose will work with your model.

Install Angry IP Scanner and sweep the 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.1.0 networks (all possible addresses). You should be able to find your fonera's IP hiding in there somewhere. I don't know why this is happening to you, but I've seen others reporting the same behavior.

Apologies if this has already been covered. ruggedized outdoor foneras

I like this.

Look here for your parts. They're reliable. That is to say I've never had any problems with ordering and receiving parts from them.

Nice. I'm glad my little ics guide panned out for you.

Yes, this is all true, all good points, but I'd rather have one machine, that I can multi-boot XP/BT3F/Weaknet Assistant/UbuntuEee from one 64GB SSD. And so, that's what I got. I also have several USB wifi cards and thumbdrives, but I really like to work with one compact unit. ;)

If the Eee PC you decide to buy uses a Mini PCIe slot for the wifi card (I think they all do, maybe not-- do your homework) then you're good. I just bought an Eee PC 701SD and the wifi card inside was a realtek. This was not good. Fortunately I have an Eee PC 701 that has the wifi card that works with BackTrack 3 Final. I took that card out and swapped it into the Eee PC 701SD. It works well. In any case, if the wifi card inside the Eee PC you decide to buy doesn't work with BT3F, then just buy one of these cards and swap it in. I've got another laptop that I bought this Gigabyte card for, and it works well with BT3F. I've tested it in mode monitor, and tested injection. All good. Now then, there's one thing I should warn you about. The Eee PC 701SD I recently bought only had one antenna inside the chassis. I had to rob the other from my 701. If you run into this problem try one of these (they are sold in packs of One). If you have further troubles with drivers and such head over to the remote-exploit forums and start here. I've read on the forums that my instructions for getting the Attansic wired NIC working, works with other models, but you'll have to try for yourself. The only thing I have left to do on mine is getting the webcam working, but I'm not too concerned with that. Hope this helps you out. Be well.

The easiest way to install BackTrack 3 Final in your situation is to download the USB Version (Extended) from here, and use unetbootin to create a bootable USB thumdrive. From there, head on over to the remote-exploit forums and use their search function to research the best method to install to your hard disk, to suit your needs. You might also want to look here, or look at the BackTrack wiki also. Don't forget to look at the BackTrack wiki's Hardware Compatibility List, to see what works. Even if your specific hardware is not listed, don't fret. Sift through the remote-exploit forums, and google your fingers silly, and I'm sure you'll get it squared away. Remember: Google is our friend. Good luck to you. Be well.

Machines connecting to my Fonera (running Jasager) are getting IP addresses from the NIC I have connected to the Fonera. From what I've understood from this article about ICS with Windows XP, when you enable ICS, a DHCP server is automagically put into play. "Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) automates the IP numbering task for the ICS clients on your network with the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service. The DHCP service enables the ICS host computer to assign IP addresses to its clients automatically. By default, when ICS is installed, the DHCP service begins supplying addresses to computers on the network." "As part of the process of enabling ICS, the network adapter for the internal network on the host computer is set to a fixed IP address of 192.168.0.1 and a special DHCP server is enabled on that connection." -..."using this setup i can get a mark connected but it cant get internet on it" @paul: As far as not being able to supply "the mark" with a connection to the Internet, you might have to plug some DNS server information into the NIC that gets supplied the address 192.168.0.1 on your laptop, once you enable ICS on the other NIC. Be well

Okay, I managed to sidejack my own gmail account and I'm also sidejacking my Hak5 forum account lol. I was able to do this without using Tftpd32. I set up my lab exactly as I did in the Jasager wiki. On the client side, the "mark" (yeah I'm the pedantic noob) is getting an IP address from 192.168.0.1, which is the address of the card I've connected to the Fonera from my laptop. The other card in my laptop is the Internet Connection Shared NIC. Ok then. This pedantic noob is going to bed now. Be well.

Hey Darren. Give it about 15 minutes after you power Der Jasager back on before starting to worry. It really does take a while to restart. I got worried, had netstumbler running, and was refreshing the available wireless networks in Windows. It does eventually show up though. Be well P.S. I've been beating my head against the wall trying to recreate what you all featured on 412. Can't seem to wrap my head around using tftpd32 as a DHCP server. The concept is clear to me, but I know I'm messing up on setting up the topology.

This is what I'm going to try, once I get some time. Then I want to try to find a similar setup for BackTrack 3 Final

That's a "go" preceded by a "no". The Alfa card installed without a problem in VMware Server 2.0, but the scheiss Linksys card caused the VM to crash. Maybe when I can get my hands on another, more recent wireless NIC, I'll try again. The Alfa card is connected to my access point. If I had another compatible wifi card, I don't see why ICS wouldn't work. But again, I'd need to get something that VMware likes, before I could test. Be well

Ya know what? I've got an old Linksys WUSB54GP laying around. I'll fire it and the AWUS036H up in a VM and see if I can recreate the results.

From everything that I've read on the remote-exploit forums wifi cards should work in VMware, if they're USB wifi cards.
