murder_face Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I used to run ubuntu 10.10 from a toshiba lifebook and the entire aircrack suite worked fine. Now I am trying to run from my wifes acer laptop and am having issue after issue. First, I don't like using airmon so I throw wlan0 into monitor mode and use macchanger to change the mac to de:ad:00:00:be:ef. Everything sticks for about 30 seconds. Then I try running aireplay and always end up in channel -1. I didn't even know channel -1 existed. WTF? Chipset is AR5001 which shouldn't require any patching. The strange thing is that reaver still works for WPS crack. Why does aireplay run the wrong channel but reaver doesn't? Plus reaver takes 4 hours on average. Where aircrack takes like 5 minutes.

murder_face Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Well I asked the almighty Google my questions and got the answers that I was looking for. I guess that's what I get for asking before reading. The strange thing is that all of the issues I am having were supposed to have been resolved through kernel updates.....

linkstojustice Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 This happens to me also when using linux mint 13, Works perfect in backtrack.... I had found an update at one time that claimed to fix the problem, I personally never tested it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
