Troubleshooting Wireless Drivers

**r3mc0** · 2015-02-19

hey guys,
i am having a problem with my Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187 Wireless Adapter.
i am trying to set the txpower to 30 after one year to scan networks,
i just recently upgraded my kali install and try to boost the signal.
this is what i did...
ifconfig wlan0 down << no problems so far ...
iw reg set BO << no error..
ifconfig wlan0 up << no prob
but then when i check the settings with iwconfig it still says Tx-Power 20 dBm
so i put it down again ..
then i try iwconfig wlan0 txpower 30, ifconfig wlan0 up and still no changes.
any body has any solution for this?
i never had this problem.
checked the network manager service, network service stopt it started it, did it again but some how i am unable the set the 20 dBm to 30 dBm.
thanks in advance!

I am a novice user on most linux and ubuntu os. Been using Kali Linux for almost a year now. But still having problems with my Broadcom Wireless Card BCM4311 on my (HP) Compaq Presario V6000. When it was Windows Xp originally, it decided to go out. I had disabled it, uninstalled it from the hardware device manager, and rebooted the laptop and it worked for a short period. I also had a munufacter problem with the display showing color problems, turning pink and had a line through the screen. I eventually stopped using the laptop for some number of years cause i had bought a few others over the course of time. So once i started having some issues with the others i decided to go back into the closet to get the laptop out. I then decided to reformat it to Windows 7 and update the Graphics card and got it to work, but it would act up every now and then. So i said screw it and replaced it with Kali. That ended up fixing my graphics issue. But still nothing on the wireless card. I updated the Bios using Bart PE and winPHLASH and the exe setup. Still nothing. I had tried installing and reinstalling b43-fwcutter, as well as some others. I have seen a suggestion for bcmwl-kernel-source but i get no candidate in the terminal. i have updated, upgraded, and dist-upgrade, updated grub and kernel and still nothing. Im Currently using 3.18.0-kali1-686-pae. i have played around with the blacklisting and modprobs, and the rfkill unblock. nothing.. please help.. There has to be some kind of way to make it work. Im using a Ralink usb card, but it isnt mine. im just borrowing it to fix this **** thing..

I have problem with my Alfa AWUS036NHA adapter, when i connect it to Kali installed on vBOx it only shows me a few wifi networks and most of them are locked so i cant connect to them, on windows 7 i see way more avilable networks and i can connect to 2 of them. Do i need to install some drivers for this adapter on linux kali and if so can anybody give me a quick tutorial?

**jkb** · 2015-02-24

I just want to add some informations. I'v reinstalled Kali on my VirtualBox and when i connect my adapter pc slow down, then when i click on networks it find few wifi connections but i am unable to connect to them , no matter how strong signal is, there is 3 bar strong connection and i am still unable to connect. Can somebody help me out please?

**hondar1** · 2015-03-14

**hondar1** · 2015-03-16

i found the answer with my google.fu!! i think

this link helped me a lot it involves an upgrade good luck !!

Hi Im having some trouble with my Alfa card AWUS036NHA. Im running Kali on Virtualbox on my mid 2013 Mac running 10.9 and for some reason my Alfa card randomly disconnects after about 10-15 minutes of being connected to Kali Linux. Its really getting annoying so how can I fix it?

**hondar1** · 2015-04-26

@reaganrockz if your using virtual box are you bridge network connection in virtual machine settings ??!! That's usually how vm gets the internet . u might wanna install VM tools. If ur trying aircrack to test how secure your wifi is you need a separate WiFi USB card it won't work with host hardware. Kali does require careful prep research before u get the hardware. I found out the hard way.

**hondar1** · 2015-04-26

So I have 43b1 running WL driver but I don't have monit0r mode. The driver from what I have read WL driver doesn't support aircrack. I have yet to find a driver to the 43b1 out there working besides the WL I've read other drivers work but fails when I try to install. But does anyone have some type of hint to my issue ? I would appreciate it I've been using Google.fu for a couple months tirelessly and no solution yet..

**flrgx** · 2015-05-05

This will fix it.

http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868...reless-drivers
Go here, follow instructions to find out what your wifi device is.

Once you know, scroll down to the table called BROADCOM WIRELESS TABLE (Updated 21 February 2015)

This will tell you the package to install

EG.

apt-get install firmware-b43-installer

Once installed, turn on the wifi hardware switch. Then on next to network.

Hi. I had bought Edimax EW-7811UTC AC600 Wireless USB and I want to install the drivers on linux to have ethernet. How I can install Edimax EW-7811UTC AC600 Wireless USB with no internet (no ethernet) ? In the instruction manual it states that "An active connection is required for Linux driver installation". Having no access to wired network I'm unable to follow the steps in manual and was wondering whether there's an alternative way of installing it without the internet connection.
Edimax manual:
http://www.edimax.com/images/Image/Q...English%29.pdf
How I can install the driver without internet?
PS Sorry for my english!

additional information:
noticed stage behavior with :
#airmon-ng start wlan0
instead creating mon0 interface, when i type #ifconfig, i saw that wlan0 changed to wlan0mon
and with#airodump-ng command on wlan0mon i didn't see any wireless network.

Thanks for helping

**KidJew** · 2015-11-19

Hi All,

I'm having what might be a simple problem with my Alfa AWUS036NH. It shows up under ifconfif/iwconfig. I can see it under lsusb and lsmod (as rt2800), but I do not see an entry for it under lspci. The USB icon (Virtual Box) at the bottom is persistently red, never green. When I try to search for networks, it says "no networks" even though it works just fine on my host OS.

I have updated and upgraded to no avail. Tried changing txpower without success. This is the output I get from dmesg

ieee80211 phy1: rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x07 failed for offset 0x101c with error -110
[ 4634.800865] ieee80211 phy1: rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x07 failed for offset 0x101c with error -110
[ 4636.428770] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready

Thanks Bud

Hi All,
I am going crazy to use a AWUS036NH in KAli 2.0 VirtualBox.
I cannot set the monitor mode.

Hello guys i'am trying to install my Huawei data card but i get this following error below.

Install NDIS driver failed. The compiling environment is not all ready. Please check gcc, make and kernel build(/lib/modules/4.0.0-kali-686-pae/build) to be all installed?

Hi there,i have a problem with my wireless card on kali linux.Can anyone help me how i can install the drive of it becouse it canot detect.The wifi is Qualcom Atheros AR9485 802.11b/g/n

**M4TR1C0M** · 2016-03-14

Hello Everyone,

I have been using Kali Linux for some time on live usb etc... I have an empty Sata slot and have purchased an SSD today and designated that as a Kali Linux OS.

I have 2 Alfa Antennas/Usb's - I have the AWUS052NH which has a MTK RT3572 chipset and I also have the AWUS036ACH which has and uses RTL8812AU chipset.

Also, I have a built in wifi card (Mediatek I think it is) which works perfectly fine in windows and has worked over live usb as well as through a Virtualbox.This device does not even show up neither does wlan0....

I have tried installing both 32 and 64 bit. I have a 64 bit... Anyways, I have tried everything I can think of and tried reading on many different tops and I cannot seem to get the wireless to work for the life of me. However, ethernet works fine.

What is also interesting is my AWUS036ACH doesn't show the power light blinking at all.. However, the AWUS052NH does blink but if I go to the top right corner and click on the wired icon.. I see that it keeps showing wireless and then it disappears and as it disappears it says disconnecting/not connected its hard to really get a good look and it will keep doing this until it actually ends up freezing Kali and I have to use the power button to shut it off and try again. I have also tried installing he drivers off the installation disk...

Can someone please help me here so I can get this working properly once and for all? Thank you in advance for reading this and for any replies.

Hi All,

I am new to Kali and I am unable to install compact-wireless-2010-10-26-p. Please see the error in the screenshot attached below:

**Alex_Cedi** · 2016-04-24

Hi!

I'm running Kali on VMware and it don't detect "wlan0" when I type "iwconfig". I only get "lo" and "eth0" and it says "no wireless extensions" in front of them.
I tried pretty much anything that it has been said on this thread and nothing worked. But I'm such a noob that it won't suprise me if I've done a mistake.
Each time that I use "airmon-ng" I get "no access to /sys/class/ieee80211/", I don't know if it can help.
When I type "dmesg" I can't see anywhere "wlan0", there's just "eth0".
And I even tried "lspci" and it seems that my ethernet controller is detected.

I don't know if this is just a problem of drivers or not.
Can someone help me to fix that?

Note : I can't connect my computer with ethernet because I don't have a physical access to the box that I'm trying to reach (student room). My only access to WiFi that works is with my phone. So if I need to download some packages to update my drivers, I have to download them with my phone and then, with a SD card, transfer the files to my computer.

Sorry for my bad english, and thanks in advance for any help!

Update : it seems that is the fault of VMware that doesn't support wireless adaptater, I'll try to make a live USB as soon as possible to confirm this out. But if someone has an other solution I'll really appreciate!

I hub a MacBook Pro 2015 to which I run Kali 2016.1 from a persistence USB and an Alfa AWSU036NEH dongle. Monitor mode is working fine, but injection will not associate with access points or work when I test with aireplay-ng. Can someone enlighten me as to a fix.

**tonynguyen259** · 2016-08-13

I think you can read this topic follow link http://docs.kali.org/installation/tr...-driver-issues. You can solve your problem.

**sam4ritan** · 2016-09-11

Hi. I got a Broadcom BCM43124 Card in my HP 255 G4. The standard article did not help me (unless I missed something). Does someone know where i can get an appropriate driver?

**TheHomieKOS** · 2016-10-02

I have a very simple issue, im guessing its easy to fix but i just cant get where the problem is.
Im running kali linux on VMWare and it seems the ettercap scanning for host
always returns 3 odd IP addresses that i dont know where they came from.
192.168.132.1
192.168.132.2
192.168.132.254
Im pretty dumb, but im guessing its the VMWare, i could maybe fix it by using kali live,
but then i wont learn anything. Plz if u know what i could do, then reply. Im just looking to learn here.

**shirshak** · 2016-11-08

i am using tp link tl-wn722n wireless card and it is not showing in terminal. terminal only shows eth0 and lo. does anyone has a fix to this problem

**raven4d** · 2017-01-08

Hii

Am mostly too close on giving up on this .. I wasted 1 whole day already reading about this stupid issue !

I cant make my intel advanced –n 6205 wireless card to work with kali 4.8.0-kali2-amd64 althought its supposed to be fully supported by Intel and the kernel version ..
Am not a linux geek , but still am not a noob at all

I followed every manual on how to do it , with 0 luck , please be kind and help me !
Below is some results of certain commands

(Lsmod ¦ grep iwlwifi )

Iwlwifi iwldvm
Cfg80211 iwlwifi,mac80211,iwdvm

Interface doent show on ifconfig , but shows in iwconfig
I tried to remove and load the iwlwifi module several times with no luck

Dmesg shows (Rf kill bit toggled to disable radio)

(Rfkill list )returns
soft blocked : no
Hard blocked : yes

Rfkill unblock all has no effect on the wifi blocking at all

Please advise

**_defalt** · 2017-01-09

Raven4D,
Show the full output of rfkill list all.

**Owlcrawler** · 2017-01-12

Hi all,

I am running Kali in a Lenovo Ideapad 110 with a Wireless Card Mini PCI-E QCNFA435. Kali is fully updated.

This is the issue I am facing:
I can see the wireless interface with iwconfig and ifconfig and it is also seen by Wifite, Reaver, Airmon-ng etc... I can see the networks around me using software like the ones mentioned before.

Network manager sees my wireless card but it doesn't find any networks so I am unable to reach the internet wirelessly.

I have searched around the forums and also google and couldn't find a solution.

Cheers,
Owl.

**_defalt** · 2017-01-12

Owl,
Can you show the output of rfkill list all?

Hello everyone and thanks for reading me, (Sorry for my english I'm french)
I post here, I hope it is ok, it seems to be the place where we can talk about network issues.

I bought my AWUS036H, I connect it to my Mac, VMWARE Fusion asks to what system I want it to connect the AWUS I select Linux.
In Linux, no green light on the cart but when I do "airman-ng" my cart is detected 1/2, and when it is detected I can do monitoring "airman-ng start wlan0" and the answer is good. But, even when it's detected :

- first, I can't selected a wifi, only the icon wifi appears, nothing else.
- And when I want to do a any test with my wifi, for example with airman-ng or here with Fluxion, the card disconnect every time when it is used. I take a picture to show you my problem.
- Sometimes the cart is detected, but 2 minutes later, it is not detected anymore.

I tried to found drivers but they seems to not work in my case. I try to reinstall
my Virtual Machine but it don't help too.

Example of the problem :
problème wlan.jpg

I don't know why it happened, because I read that the drivers are normally already installed in kali, so I don't understand,
Thanks for reading me

Please help me

Hello, I have a VM (Virtualbox) install of 64 bit Linux kali 4.9.0-kali3-amd64. Recently I bought a TP-LINK TL-WN722N and when I installed it, it showed as a Realtek chipset (it doesn't show as Atheros, which is what I read it should) and I am having some trouble getting it to run properly on Kali Linux. I installed it in an Ubuntu machine, and also in the Host machine (Windows 10) and it works fine in both instances.

Below is some output of a few commands:

iwconfig

Code:

root@kali:~# iwconfig
eth1      no wireless extensions.

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

ifconfig

Code:

eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500

When I check in the USB devices of the VMWare, it shows as Realtek 802.11n NIC, but when I do lsusb it displays no info or the vendor at all:

Code:

root@kali:~# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2357:010c  
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 80ee:0021 VirtualBox USB Tablet
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

I tried:

Making sure it's uninstalled in the host machine
Installing the compat-drivers
Once compat-drivers are installed, I can see wlan0 and wlan1, but neither of those can do anything, they don't detect networks or send/receive any traffic at all.
Reinstalling in the host machine the latest drivers
Connecting the USB to other slot
Verifying that the USB is set up (filtered) as USB 2.0 in the Virtualbox settings
Changing the filter to USB 3.0

The machine I'm using is a Dell XPS15.

Thank you for any help, it is greatly appreciated.

Hello, I have the exact same problem here. The only difference is my machine (not a Dell XPS). But I'm French as well...

Thanks in advance for any help
