condor Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 It seems that the ssid beacons stop after a few hours of being powered up. I can repeat this 100% of the time. I've found that if the pineapple has no wifi clients for an extended time period (say, 4+hours) it just stops sending beacons. I cannot see an ssid from any OS. I've tried airodump-ng --bssid my:pi:ne:ap:pl:em:ac with no luck either. I have had this trouble with every version of mkiv including 1.1.1. I have used multiple os's, multiple wifi nics, all to no avail. Has anyone else experienced this? Can one of you pineapple gurus explain how to get it to start broadcasting again without rebooting? I have learned more in the last month about computers due to this device than I have in the last 5 years. My wife hates you, but I love ya. Keep up the great work.

Yes i have had the same problem with both versions of the new firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelCork Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Have you tried bringing the wlan down and then up?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Thanks for reporting this. Could you open a bug ticket on the github and link to this thread there too? Now for debugging purposes: -Can you time it? Is it always the same +- a couple of minutes? Knowing this is important. -Is this only when karma is on or off? Does it matter? -Can you reach the pineapple after the SSID dissapears over ethernet? If you could try to answer some of those questions / time how long it takes (be as exact as possible) it would help a lot. I am certain I can get this fixed ASAP, but I am busy with a few things so debugging something time consuming is a bit difficult at the moment. Best, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bl4ckc4t Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I was experiencing the same issues as well. I changed the channel from 11 to 1 and at least now the SSID doesn't drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, Sebkinne The hacker in me wants to script out some perl to parse an airodump file for ssid uptime. I will work on this tonight after the ol'lady goes to sleep. As for the other questions: Karma being enabled doesn't matter. In fact; I think it may drop the ssid quicker when it is enabled. (perhaps not having any clients has something to do with this. I associated a seperate laptop with the pineapple and left it while at work. This seemed to make a difference, as the ssid broadcast remained. I CAN use ethernet to connect after the broadcast is dropped. (hence why I wanted to know how to restart the broadcast.) I'll weigh in later with the timing results...

digininja Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Does it still respond to probe requests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
condor Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Does it still respond to probe requests? nok.ok I'm having REAL trouble with the power connection (and so haven't replied in a few) but that's another thread. It has been 50 hours uptime and I've lost the ssid sometime in the last 10 hours. I need someones help connecting to the device via the command line in linux. iwlist wlan0 essid pineapple ^assigns that ssid to wlan0 but then... dhclient wlan0 ^yields this error: root@bt:~# dhclient wlan0 Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.3 Copyright 2004-2009 Internet Systems Consortium.
