TGYK Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I just received a wifi pineapple mk V as a gift today, and after mucking around with it for a bit, I had wlan1 up, and mon0 on wlan1, the device seemed to lose connection (I'm wired directly, so this shouldn't happen) and when I reconnected, the device had no monitor interface, but it had wlan0, wlan1, and wlan0-1. I'm confused as to where this interface came from, how to remove it, and if I should be concerned with removing it. I've tried resetting to defaults using the DIP switches and reflashing, but the interface persists. Please note, I was doing everything through the web management console, and not over SSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 The three interfaces is normal from version 2.1.0 onwards. Best regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGYK Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Oh! Well, the third interface wasn't present immediately after I had upgraded the firmware. Could you tell me what this third wireless interface is and what it's intended purpose is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Pretty sure wlan0-1 is the virtual adapter for secure configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGYK Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Pretty sure wlan0-1 is the virtual adapter for secure configuration. Ah, so it's the one which broadcasts the management interface? I noticed airmon-ng lists it as being on the atheros radio, does that imply I can't use it for other things, like broadcasting other SSIDs or monitor mode, etc?
