Hi,
I have Kali 1.0.5 installed on my Pi and I can't get the wifi working quite correctly with my Proxim 8424 usb dongle. Network (via 100TX) works just fine.
I've noticed if I perform:
root@kali:~# iwconfig
wlan0 no wireless extensions.
Although, I can load up the 'iw' tools and scan SSIDs with 'iw dev wlan0 scan'.
Tools such as fern-wifi-cracker can't find a wlan0 and aircrack-ng similarly has an issue with wlan0. I'm wondering if the 'no wireless extensions' is somehow to do with my problem.
This usb dongle works OK under raspbian, using the carl9170 driver/firmware.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Glen.
