ScottHelme Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I can't seem to get Wlan1 started up. Enabling from the web interface or via SSH using 'ifconfig wlan1 up' yields nothing. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 The red LED will only light when wlan1 is active (i.e. connected to a network). What's the output of "iwconfig", "ifconfig wlan1 up", "lsusb" and "logread" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soap Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I have similar issues right now also with wlan1. I can get it to come up and I can use it for airmon and air dump via command line, but it will not associate with any wireless network or create a wireless network through the wifi manager infusion. I also get errors where sometimes after reboots wlan1 will not even be a recognized interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesugarat Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Soap, At some point did you delete and do the auto refresh for wlan2 in the WiFi Manager infusion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soap Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I have deleted configs from both wlan0 and 1, saved and commited the changes. there were a couple of times where I hit auto detect on it because it didn't recognize wlan1 as a radio(but on the "network" tile I could see wlan1 as being enabled, but doing this didnt seem to do anything).

soap Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 So to answer your question thesugarat, I have done those things but not necessarily in that order. I should also mention that I did factory reset it today because I had lost wlan1 entirelly for a while after some more testing of features (out of ifconfig, iwconfig, cli and gui.) after factory reset it reappeared on gui and cli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Try running this after ssh into the pineapple: rm /etc/config/wireless && wifi detect > /etc/config/wireless && reboot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soap Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Try running this after ssh into the pineapple: rm /etc/config/wireless && wifi detect > /etc/config/wireless && reboot trying it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 It should reset your wifi configs back to the defaults before modification by either modules or anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soap Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 It seems to have done that. I see both of them as AP and not client and both have the pineappleX_XXXX essid. After this was completed here is what I tried. First off I noticed that only the wlan0 Pineapple essid was observable on my 'wireless networks' list from my laptop and phone. So what I did was try to join my home network through client mode(on the pineapple obviously). The pineapple did in fact join my home network, but it joined through the wlan1 interface. Up until this attempt right now, it has never connected via wlan1 and I have never seen the red LED blink for this long. When I would attempt to connect via client mode previously it would always use wlan0. After joining client mode I now see the red LED blinking vigerously. I used the client tab to join my home network. NOT configure the network parameters in the wifi management tab manually. Once it had successfully joined my home network, the settings were replicated to the wifi management tab. I am not sure if these two tiles are fighting with one another behind the scenes or not. the clearing and re detecting of the wireless configs has resolved this issue for me thus far. I will do further testing and let you know if I experience anything else concerning this. The last and final test I performed was rebooting the pineapple one last time and everything came back exactly how it should. sorry for hijacking your thread buddy! lol hopefully this helps you out!

soap Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Also thanks all you pineapple wizards. I will find harder and stranger problems for you to work on, you guys are solving these too fast ;) Edited October 22, 2013 by soap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesugarat Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) When working on the WPA client fix I noticed that if you use the WiFi Manager infusion and remove/save/commit wlan1 and then use auto detect it created a line in the etc/config/wireless file that needed to be removed in order to reenable it. Also, the other lines it created didn't have the quotations. Not sure if that mattered but I changed it all to quoted and it worked. It also set wlan1 to its default ssid Pineapple+Mac Address.

Sebkinne Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Wlan1 cannot be used to create an AP. Red LED will only light up if connected to another network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrot Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Run the injection test on wlan1 for special strobes of red :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottHelme Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 OK so it's connecting now and I'm getting a red LED :-) It's showing the IP address as 172.16.42.204 though, should it not be assigned an IP from the DHCP server on my network?

Did you blacklist the MAC of wlan1? Might have pineapple'd yourself. Unless of course your network runs on 172.16.42.0/24 as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boob00 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) I tried the command Mr-Protocol posted and still no luck, when in the client mode tab of the network tile, i can see my pineapples SSID as an option to connect to whitch leads me to believe its using wlan1, but when i try to connect to my home SSID, the wlan0 blue light shuts off and comes back on and it says connection established when clearly its not.

thesugarat Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) BOOB00, That's the kind of output I got when I removed wlan1 via the WiFi Manager infusion.
