venelino Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hi everybody! I have rtl817l usb which works great on installed/cd/usb booted Bactrack but not in Vmware. Personally I have never managed to crack my home-made wep under Vmware. I am looking for a powerful wifi working directly on vmware. Thank you! ; )) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 It should work in VMware/VirtualBox when using USB Pass-through. I never had issues with my AWUS036H with VirtualBox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I found an issue with one of the Atheros Alfas under Virtualbox with Windows 7, The card was passed through but didn't fully arrive so if you checked dmesg then it spotted the card and started processing it but then failed to fully gain access to it. I did a lot of searching and it turns out to be a VBox issue that is years old and that they basically refuse to fix. I installed VMWare 8 and that had the same problem for about 3-4 reboots then it suddenly worked and hasn't stopped since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telot Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I've had the same issue with the AWUS036NHA here. Virtualbox hates the NHA for some reason. Of course the cross-platform (and most importantly FREE) virtualization software won't play nice with my favorite radio...Oracle just can't get it right lately! I should mention that my AWUS036H works like a charm though with virtualbox. Is there a reason you can't use virtualbox venelino? Its 100% free and the rtl8187 works great on it. telot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 The easiest option is just to boot a live disk and do all your work from there, BT5 has all the tools for WEP cracking installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this is the way. Which card would you suggest me to buy from the cheap ebay's? 2000mw rtl8187 or try the newer chips with N? I am buying for friend also, mine is also kinda broken, the antena doesn't stay very well.. but it works, anyway - I am about to buy some fresh, which would you suggest me to? Thank you!
