Nano Issues-Access Points not Working

[Bee Epstein]

Hello,

 

I am just starting out with the Nano. My ultimate goal is to get the nano to connect to my local access point. Have my test device connect to the Nano's access point and then use the tcpdump module to capture the traffic between the test device and Internet. 

I can get the nano to connect to my local access point. 

I have configured the Nano's AP's to not be hidden. I do not see them when I scan for access points on my test device. I rebooted but they don't seem to be working. 

I have also noticed the blue LED is not lit. It lights up and flashes up on boot but it doesn't stay lit.

Any help would be appreciated.

If the device is on but the LED is not lit, try enabling the radio.

ifconfig wlan0 up

although you shouldn't have to.

Foxtrot, is that done via the command line? How do I get access to it?

[Bee Epstein]

Foxtrot,

I was able to ssh into it. I did not see a wlan0 when i did ifconfig. I see wlan1. Am I supposed to have a wlan0 and a wlan1?

I'm having the same problem.  Yesterday I saw wlan0 in ssh, and today it is gone.  Recon no longer works, but it worked yesterday.  When I try ifconfig wlan0 up it says there is no such device.  Using pineapple nano through kali vm on windows 10 host.  Like I said it worked yesterday and I was playing with modules, etc.

firmware upgrade to 1.1.0 returned wlan0 to operational.  I can now once again see it in the ssh after the command iwconfig

if you use

$ ifconfig -a

it will list all adapters, including any iface that is down.

Also, the full command would of brought up the interface.

This didn't work in my case.  I tried this in the ssh and it just said the device didn't exist.  Anyway, the new firmware corrected the problem.

Strange. Dmesg logs would have been good.

Hello all, 

 

The firmware upgrade fixed it. However, now I am having issues downloading the pcaps from the tcpdump module. 

When I click to download the file it shows up as a 28MB file. Then I lost connection to the management AP. I got it back and now the file is 19MB. And it is taking way to long do download. 

[Bee Epstein]

The download speed is KB/s and i am sitting next to the pineapple. I have already rebooted it. 

[Bee Epstein]

I have additional information....

I have connected directly to the Pineapple via the USB and accessed it via my safari browser on my mac. The download speeds starts off pretty good then drops down to Kilobytes/sec. It did this over wifi too.

In addition, every time I try to download the file it gets smaller in size (28MB then 19MB then 18MB)
