sober Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 the driver link for the alfa from the hakshop is broken, i wanted to use it on a win7 box, as i currently have a flashdrive in my pineapples usb, but am having trouble finding the drivers anywhere else, is anyone aware of where i may locate them/have a copy they downloaded still, because i cant find any other drivers hosted on alfas site.

Infiltrator Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Hey bro, Try this downloading the drivers, from this link http://www.alfa.com.tw/in/front/bin/ptlist.phtml?Category=105397 Quote
telot Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Anyone gotten this working on a linux box yet? I haven't yet played with it, but just googling around there is no link on the alfa site, nor any mention of third party drivers in any forums I could dig up. Is there any hope of it working in BT5R2 without alfa providing the drivers? telot Quote

telot Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) Yeah I'll give that a try when I fire it up this weekend - very odd theres no driver on the alfa page and not much of anything when googling...how strange! Thanks sober! telot Edited August 7, 2012 by telot Quote

hackedfive Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Hey, as a side note, I just plugged this beast into backtrack running in VMware Fusion on a Macbook, its working fine, but when I try to change my country because I am in bolivia right now for the evening, it is stuck on country 98..... I searched around and it looks like other people on other forums think that the adapters now have an eeprom programmed to not allow changing it when I fly into bolivia for the evening? The adapter came from snubs when I bought it from her at Defcon with my pineapple this year, so its a model from the hak5 group... Oh, and for the OP, I plugged it into my win7 box and it loaded drivers automagically for it... Works automagically in win7, and linux Edited August 9, 2012 by hackedfive Quote

Works automagically in win7, and linux did not automatically load drivers for me into windows 7, also drivers i downloaded dont work, but it works in bt5 with no hassle, must be something going on with my win7 box Quote
01000010 Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Make sure your USB ports are putting out enought power. And then there seems to be issues with the USB code in the driver of the device. Here is a link for what I found http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg90364.html Edited August 11, 2012 by leapole Quote
