Basically my setup is as such:

pineapple connected to windows 7 with ics enabled and working. I have backtrack as client on VM.

My goal: connect my pineapple using external wifi adapter to local AP ( with WAP) and be able to completely ditch the Ethernet cable.

Thanks for the help!

So you want to use all wifi to connect to the pineapple? This may not work if there is client isolation.

client is connected through external adapter and assigned 192.168.x.x. I have seen association with AP and pineapple using network manager, but hostname is blank and i cannot ssh to the assigned IP.

Ok i tinkered around abit and got network manager to work. It had to be set to WAN in wireless settings.

config wifi-iface
option device 'radio1'
option network 'lan' <-------- Needs be wan!!
option mode 'sta'
option ssid 'DXXXXXX'
option key 'password'
option hidden '1'
option encryption 'psk2+tkip+aes'

Now i have connection to my AP and am able to ssh and http into pineapple.
