bmccutch Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 hello, I've been trying to figure out how to connect the pineapple to wireless access point in client mode. So far all I've been able to do is put it into client mode can anyone else shed some light on this? any help would be greatly appreciated.

bmccutch Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Connecting the pineapple wirelessly to an access point is not the intended purpose of it. yes im aware of that and fully understand how the pineapple works, i was just curious if it was possible after finding the client mode option in webif. I was thinking if i could do so i could try a couple of things including arp spoofing my wifi network with it. besides what fun is it using things for their intended purpose :P Edited August 4, 2011 by bmccutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Question being, if you have a laptop you are using to give the pineapple commands. Why not just use the laptop and cut out the slower device (Jasager/Pineapple) from the mix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just use the laptop and cut out the slower device (Jasager/Pineapple) from the mix? it was just a "out of curiosity" thing but i've actually been using a pocket pc with putty connected to it to issue commands. i thought it would be neat to do it all from the pocket pc and pineapple rather than having to lug around my 10 pound 7 yr old laptop lol Edited August 4, 2011 by bmccutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Very true. I'm actually looking into doing all of that with just an iPod touch. netbooks are a good inbetween though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeryth Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Yes it is possible to connect the fonera as a client, I've tried it. In my case to achieve routing from wifi in client mode to wired I had to turn off bridging, firewall and set up a route manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmccutch Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Very true. I'm actually looking into doing all of that with just an iPod touch. netbooks are a good inbetween though. Yea if i still had my old jailbroken touch i would definitely try that as well. And I agree with you about the netbooks im actually looking into getting a cheap one sometime soon. Yes it is possible to connect the fonera as a client, I've tried it. In my case to achieve routing from wifi in client mode to wired I had to turn off bridging, firewall and set up a route manually. can you please share with me how you got it to connect?

Emeryth Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Somewhere in the web interface there is a "site survey" button, which will show you available networks and let you connect to them. Connecting manually using iwconfig also works. You're gonna have to figure out the rest of the settings by yourself, because that depends on what are you trying to achieve.

Oddly enough the "site survey" does not have a connect button but i figured it out with using iwconfig. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmccutch Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) Sorry to bring this back up again but i've tried everything and cannot find a solution. I thought i figured it out earlier but when I tried to do something with it I realized it does not seem to obtain a ip address from the ap's dhcp server so i think im missing something. The following commands is what I used to get it to connect to the access point: wlanconfig ath0 destroy wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode managed 2>&1 > /dev/null iwconfig ath0 essid 'dlink' iwconfig ath0 key off ifconfig ath0 up Edited August 28, 2011 by bmccutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeryth Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 To get an address via DHCP you need to use udhcpc after connecting, like this: udhcpc -i ath0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
