kali 1.0.1 all updates and upgrades installed. 3.7-trunk-amd64 kernel on an hp elitebook 8540p. centrino 4965 works great with iwlwifi out of the box, but trying to install a linksys wusb54g v4 (ralink rt2570 chip) not working. here is the output when we plug in or reload the kernel module:
seems to be like the problem mentioned in this post: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fro...el/dthMMtBVhV4Code:root@jc-elite:~# modprobe -r rt2500usb root@jc-elite:~# modprobe rt2500usb root@jc-elite:~# dmesg | tail [ 3736.978336] [<ffffffffa06a3000>] ? 0xffffffffa06a2fff [ 3736.978342] [<ffffffff810020b6>] ? do_one_initcall+0x75/0x12b [ 3736.978348] [<ffffffffa06a3000>] ? 0xffffffffa06a2fff [ 3736.978355] [<ffffffffa06a3000>] ? 0xffffffffa06a2fff [ 3736.978361] [<ffffffff81083c4f>] ? sys_init_module+0x105/0x251 [ 3736.978368] [<ffffffff8137d8a9>] ? system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [ 3736.978371] ---[ end trace 8366e3e874e1db46 ]--- [ 3736.978375] phy4 -> rt2x00lib_probe_dev: Error - Failed to initialize hw.

then tried downloading and installing a new driver for the rt2570 and it would not compile:
yes, i have the linux-headers installed for this kernel. unsure why i can't compile this. so i tried getting compat-wireless and compiling, and got this:Code:root@jc-elite:~/rt2570-k2wrlz-1.6.4/Module# ls assoc.c md5.c rt2570.h rtmp_def.h rtusb.h sha1.h auth.c md5.h rt2570sw.h rtmp_tkip.c rtusb_info.c sync.c auth_rsp.c mlme.c rt2x00debug.c rtmp_type.h rtusb_init.c wpa.c connect.c mlme.h rt2x00debug.h rtmp_wep.c rtusb_io.c wpa.h Makefile modules.order rt_config.h rtusb_bulk.c rtusb_main.c Makefile~ oid.h rtmp_ckipmic.h rtusb_data.c sanity.c root@jc-elite:~/rt2570-k2wrlz-1.6.4/Module# make make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.7-trunk-amd64' Building modules, stage 2.

So i am basically stuck, and although I could go buy another usb wlan dongle, I want to make this work because it works fine in backtrack5r3(kde64) as well as bugtraq2blackwidow(ubuntu 3.26 based), and I thought it would be a good exercise that would help people if solved in public forum.Code:CC [M] /root/compat-wireless-3.6.8-1/drivers/bluetooth/hci_ath.o /root/compat-wireless-3.6.8-1/drivers/bluetooth/hci_ath.c: In function ‘ath_wakeup_ar3k’: /root/compat-wireless-3.6.8-1/drivers/bluetooth/hci_ath.c:61:2: error: incompatible type for argument 2 of ‘memcpy’ In file included from /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7-trunk-common/arch/x86/include/asm/string.h:4:0, from /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7-trunk-common/include/linux/string.h:17, from /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7-trunk-common/include/linux/dynamic_debug.h:100, from /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7-trunk-common/include/linux/kernel.h:14, from /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7-trunk-common/include/linux/plist.h:78, from /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7-trunk-common/include/linux/pm_qos.h:7, from /root/compat-wireless-3.6.8-1/include/linux/pm_qos.h:7, from /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7-trunk-common/include/linux/netdevice.h:28, from /root/compat-wireless-3.6.8-1/include/linux/compat-2.6.29.h:5, from /root/compat-wireless-3.6.8-1/include/linux/compat-2.6.h:49, from <command-line>:0: /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7-trunk-common/arch/x86/include/asm/string_64.h:32:14: note: expected ‘const void *’ but argument is of type ‘struct ktermios’ make[5]: *** [/root/compat-wireless-3.6.8-1/drivers/bluetooth/hci_ath.o] Error 1 make[4]: *** [/root/compat-wireless-3.6.8-1/drivers/bluetooth] Error 2 make[3]: *** [_module_/root/compat-wireless-3.6.8-1] Error 2 make[2]: *** [sub-make] Error 2 make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.7-trunk-amd64' make: *** [modules] Error 2 root@jc-elite:~/compat-wireless-3.6.8-1#

FIXED!!!!
Look at bottom for solution
Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 01)
Booting from a persistent USB
Injection works perfectly.
I am able to create a monitor interface too.
I can connect perfectly without spoofing.
I spoof my mac address this way:
I also tried managed mode and it didn't work.Code:ifconfig wlan0 down macchanger -r wlan0 ifconfig wlan0 up
When I try connect to WEP network, it connects but the AP is unable to give me an address.
When I try to connect to WPA network, the network manager prompts me to enter a password, as if the one I had was wrong.
My issue has been fixed in two ways. Macchanger doesn't work, but instead I do:
ORCode:ifconfig wlan0 down hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:01 ifconfig wlan0 up
Right click on network manager (top right)
Edit connections
Wireless
Select a connection
Type in "cloned mac address"
And it works

Hi all, I install Kali 1.0.3 and i still not have wlan0. My network adapter is : 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43227 802.11b/g/n
Before that i have Backtrack 5 R3 and i have WiFi without any problems with bcmwl-kernel-source_5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu6_amd64 package. Can you give some how to or package to fix this
Junior Member
OK, I'm done with my patiencei had to register and ask for help.
My hardware: Alfa awus036nh with ralink rt3070 chip and integrated ralink 3090.
My problem: i cant access the internet ... it is really strange. I have listed all available wifi networks of the USB adapter, but if i try to connect it wont.
The history: 1. I installed kali 1.0.2 amd64 and everything worked great ... after i perform "apt-get upgrade" the network manager showed that I'm connected, but couldn't access the internet nor my router over the IP 192.168.1.1.
2. After i got stuck on the 1.0.2 (after "apt-get upgrade") i tried 1.0.3 amd64, and now I'm not able to connect to the wireless at all.
I tried to put wlan0 (my integrated wireless card) down ("ifconfig wlan0 down"), but had no luck ... tried to put eth0 and lo down, but nothing ... i tried everything that i found googling, but there's not much information for Kali out there ATM.

I was having this same issue. I applied the patch you linked to, recompiled the kernel, and my rt2500usb adapter works now. I used the instructions for recompiling the kernel here: http://docs.kali.org/development/rec...i-linux-kernel
After downloading and extracting the source code, and prior to the step "configuring your kernel", I performed the following steps to apply the patch
1. Create the Patch file, I used the following code, and saved it to /root/rt2x00-patch
2. Run the following commands:Code:diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c b/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c index 69097d1..dafb448 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c @@ -1123,6 +1123,9 @@ static inline void rt2x00lib_set_if_combinations(struct rt2x00_dev *rt2x00dev) struct ieee80211_iface_limit *if_limit; struct ieee80211_iface_combination *if_combination; + if (rt2x00dev->ops->max_ap_intf < 2) + return; + /* * Build up AP interface limits structure.

After rebooting, I was able to plug in my USB wifi adapter and it worked properly.

I have to join in, I got Kali running on a MacBookPro 11th Generation w/ USB-Persistence-Stick.
It runs on a Broadcom bcm4311 card and I can do everything with it, Monitor Mode, wireshark, Injectiontest (aireplay-ng -9) but a usual stable wifi connection won't work.
I get disconnected and then there are always three "auth" tries which timeout and then they try again and we are connected.
iw event -t: Connection quality monitor event: RSSI went below threshold.

Hi All,
I have wireless that works, but it is really slow, and it does not have to do with my internet connection. From the Google Chrome website I am downloading the chrome browser and it states I am only getting 15.5 kb/s this is true not only for the this but pretty much anything else that needs web access. Is this normal behavior? Or any solutions? I have a Broadcom 4322AG 802.11 a/b/g/draft-n built in wifi for my 6930p.
Thanks
Junior Member
I just barely ordered the same exact alfa card you guys are referring to. I was curious if you had figured out how to get it to show up as an interface dmesg (incase I have the same problem?)
Junior Member
Hi all,
In first, i hope i'm in the good section for my question, if it's not i apologize.
After three days of web research on web, Debian forum and other linux forum, ect... I didn't find a mean to change the driver of my wireless card which is brcmsmac to b43. The fact that, I have a BCM4313 and on Ubuntu in Settings, we have addional drivers settings allow to do this change which really improve wifi connexion and network detection.
I'm disposed to provide you every information you want if you ask me and i'm sorry for my approximately english.
Thanks for your time.
Junior Member
Hi all,
I want to know if it's possible to change wireless driver because i search for three days and i didn't find even on debian forum. I have a BCM4313 and actually my driver is brcmsmac and i want to change for b43.
Thanks for your time.

Hi All,
I've read through the troubleshooting guide and still can't seem to work out my issue. My guess at the moment is its a power issue.
I have a Alfa Networks AWUS036H 1MW wireless card which I don't seem to be able to get to work on the latest version of Kali for the Raspberry Pi.
From dmesg everything seems to be fine, in fact the output is the same as the output I get if I plug it into my laptop, which it works on.
usb 1-1.3.5: Product: RTL8187_Wireless

Registered led device: rtl8187-phy0::tx

However when I run ifconfig or iwconfig wlan0 has no wireless extensions. The lights on my card are not on either. So I thought it was a power issue.
I purchased the 'Zipp' usb hub listed last on the list here 'http://elinux.org/RPi_Powered_USB_Hubs' but the same issue exists.
Anyone have any ideas?
Junior Member
Hi,
I've got a problem reconnecting my device (TP-LINK TL-WN821N version 4, so it is a realtek chip). The first connection after booting works with:
After shutting down wlan viaifconfig wlan0 up
wpa_supplicant-B -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext -iwlan0
dhclient wlan0
It will never be able to connect again. Only after rebooting my system.killall wpa_supplicant
ifconfig wlan0 down
dhclient -r wlan0
dmesg will contain a message like
IPv6 (NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
Junior Member
I have not tried in kali but I have tried the same wifi adapter on my pi and it will not work unless i use a powered usb hub so that could be the issue although no idea why your current but might not be working. if i dont use the hub my wifi adapter acts the same way

Hi
after last update I have problem with my AWUS036H ( rtl8187 b), it be fixed in channel and will not change when i run wash og airodump-ng, it is ok with monitore mode and works problem free in network manager.( i mean it can find all AP in different channels), I tried to copy old driver from "3.7-trunk-amd64" to "3.10-3-amd64" but it make that system cannot find wlan0 (rtl8187) at all. is it only me that have this problem? is this a bug?

Hi,
I have just purchased a new unbranded USB to use on the vmware image I downloaded from the website, as the old belkin wasn't giving me the range I required.
The chipset is a realtek 8191 although when plugged into Vm it displays 8191Su.
I have the linux drivers for this item and have used the install.sh provided (for end users who are not familiar with Linux system) like me and seemed to install ok.
iwconfig lists it as being present but it will not start with airmon-ng start wlan1.
My Questions are as follows
1. Is this chipset supported - I have read that it is under the 8192 drivers?
2. If it is supported - Is there a driver that i can download with instructions pertinent to kali-linux ?
3. If the above is "don't waste your time" - Is the Atheros AR5008 compatable?
I have downloaded the backports-3.11.6-1 file but cannot get it to install so if there is a glimmer of hope
that this may work could someone help me with the correct syntax to get this installed I am having a
problem with the ./scripts/driver-select section.
I have today tried the instructions from a livecd 32 bit edition at https://forums.kali.org/archive/index.php/t-127.html but this too failed
Another quick update - after using the dmesg command I have discovered that the usb is using the r8712u: DriverVersion: v7_0.20100831 (don't know if this is relevant) and a msg at the bottom of the list stating ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready.
Somebody please please please help me - this is daein ma heid in!
Rab.

I am looking for an up-to-date status report on the Realtek RTL8723AE wireless adapter. The last information around was dated the beginning of August. Does anyone know if there is a newer set of driver software for Linux available from Realtek anywhere that ACTUALLY WORKS without having to be bodged?
Many thanks,
Mark.
Junior Member
It seems like everyone on here is have just as much trouble as I did (am) with Realtek. From what I have been able to tell so far is that little to none of the rtl based wifi cards work as is. However if you have been using linux long enough, and feel up to it. Most of the cards issues seem to be able to be resolved by ways of rebuilding the kernel. I am still sort of new to linux/Kali myself. I finally figure it out though
So, if you are having an issue with Realtek not working, no monitor mode capability, no interface...etc. The list goes on.. Try checking out https://github.com/chunkeey/rtl8192su for issues with the r8712u module. That's the one that I had and this seems to be the only source of real progress I have been able to find. Someone let me know if they have heard anything otherwise.
As for all other Realtek firmware/driver problems a good place I can think to start would be: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers That is a link to the device and driver compatibility for all the devices that their kernel covers. For Realtek specifically, check out http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/rtl819x
I realize that this is no quick fix, or even an answer at all for that matter. Hopefully it might save someone a good amount of time. I wish that I could be more helpful. If anyone has questions, I will try to help in any way that I can.

Im using the driver from cd that came with "Asus usb-n13" 802.11b/g/n I know it works because I used it without flaw on KDE kali yesterday.

hi, i'm having dell inspiron laptop,, while installing kali or backtrack 5r3 on it, it is unable to detect any wireless network around it BUT works fine on LAN.
the network adapter available in the laptop are:
1) Broadcom Virtual Wireless Adapter.
2) Dell Wireless 1704 802.11b/g/n(2.4GHz).
3) Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller.
even http://docs.kali.org/troubleshooting...-driver-issues doesn't have anything for me.
now i'm trying kali/backtrack as live from a USB.
please help me why its not detecting any wireless network and how this can be solved because it work fine with other OS.
thank you.

I have an USB dongle from Planet. Model name is WNL-U554
It's listed as wlan1 = 8171 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188SU 802.11n WLAN Adapter
It does detect access points but it can't connect to them, I'm just trying to access an AP, not monitoring or anything. Out of sheer luck I once managed to connect to my home router, I could telnet to the router settings, haven't managed to do that again.
What could be going wrong?

So I tried everything, on every forum. I have the "right" drivers. I was able to inject packets on my own wifi network, but I was unable to capture the WPA handshake. I filtered the .cap file through wireshark and nothing.......until while airodump-ng was running I ran "iwconfig mon0 channel auto" in another console window. Amost instantly i captured a handshake (which I verified through wireshark) and was able to retrieve my wifi password.
Hope this helps someone as frustrated as I was

Just got Kali installed, dual booting with win7 on a dell mini 10. Running pretty good. Ran apt get and found some drivers for the wifi card that enabled me to connect to my AP here at home, but I can't get any http in IceWeasel. I haven't read of anyone having this problem yet.
I didn't have this problem in Ubuntu and seriously need some guidance here because I don't know hardly anything when it comes to command line in linux.

I'm running Kali on VMare Fusion. Have a Linksysy AE1200 Wireless USB attached. lusb is showing a usb device names VMware. dmesg is also showing the usb device. I've tried unsuccessfully to install the drivers after installing dniswrapper, dniswrapper-source, dniswrapper-util etc.
The dniswrapper.ko is not showing the kernel library. I've tried to install from source, it is telling me no luck, kernel headers cannot be found. Everything, including secondary packages have been updates via diet-upgrade. Kernel headers are supposedly up to date...I'm stuck. Anyone?

i also have this configuration in my sony vaio laptop & in this system i cant detect any wireless connection, please help me if you have any solution found

HI guy's i'm having problem with my Alfa AWUS036H its always in channel -1, did anyone have encounter this problem?
Junior Member
I have had the same problem, but I'm not sure which update broke it. I resolved it using kernel 3.7 instead of 3.12. I hope this will be patched in future release

Before starting wlan0 try:
airmon-ng check kill

Hi,
I've just bought a TP Link 725N for Kali linux as a virtual machine.
I installed the r8188eu driver. It works fine... but when I try airmon-ng start wlan0, I get this:
But the wlan0 is still Mode:Managed (iwconfig) and there is no mon0.Code:Found 3 processes that could cause trouble. If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them! -e PID Name 8600 NetworkManager 8604 wpa_supplicant 9864 dhclient Process with PID 9864 (dhclient) is running on interface wlan0 Interface Chipset Driver wlan0 Unknown r8188eu (monitor mode enabled)
Any Idea ?

I've (successfully) install Kali-mini ISO from DVD but I am experiencing some wireless problems. I hope this is the right spot to post my question. I'll get it out of the way as it is one of those questions I have'nt found fully answered on the forum or/and the solutions posted and researched have either not worked or does not apply to my situation.
Issue: wlan0: error fetching interface information: device not found
Connection used during install of packages: eth0 interface
Other info: wicd is installed and works just fine but no wlan0 devices are detected so it is pretty much useless atm.

Would like to post an update to my question. I resolved the issue with a bit of research. Hopefully this may help someone else. [level of difficulty: 2/easy]
First, you must establish some kind of eth0 connection or else you won't be able to follow the rest of this info. (assuming this is for the device you are troubleshooting)
Things you need:
your Ralink model: example: RT2800
internet connection example: eth0 up ...192.168.1.225
Terminal
wicdSecond: After you have your internet connection and wicd is configured properly, (both wlan0 and eth0 are enabled) then you can open your terminal and enter code:Code:apt-get install wicd
According to: https://wiki.debian.org/rt2800pci#Installation the kernel module is automatically loaded for supported devices.Code:apt-get install firmware-ralink
That's it!
This worked for me. As I mentioned in my previous post [ at time of posting this it has not been displayed yet ] I installed kali-mini via ISO DVD to Hard Disk Partition (very easy). Not sure if this issue was a problem for a normal install on a Hard Disk.

Hope that someone can help me out.
Have AirLive WN-370USB USB WiFi adapter problem on VirtualBox
Linux drivers for this adapter are supported only for Kernel version 3.0.2
http://www.airlive.com/support/firmware/WN-370USB
I found work around for Ubuntu 14.04 here on my language and added device number but wifi connection is still not working.
http://root.com.hr/airlive-wn-370usb...-14-04-problem
I have also tried this work around for other adapter but it still wont work.
*REMOVED*
I'm new in this so when i downloaded drivers i dont know how to install them?
Or do i have to install before trying this workaround?
Thank you for your help.
