Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG

[Jack]

Hi All,

I have the Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG card in my note book.

I have tried to patch the driver with ipwraw-ng-2.3.4-04022008.tar.bz2 many attempts. All fail to get it working.

I was trying with backtrack 3 and backtrack 4, all can not find the card (wlan0).

Any one could please give me some guide.

Regards,
Jack

Try enabling the monitor mode using

Code:

sudo airmon-ng start eth1

Or, you can get it working just by loading the builtin ipwraw driver (no patching needed).

Code:

sudo modprobe ipwraw (load new driver)
sudo airmon-ng start wlan0 (start monitor mode)

PS: I am talking Ubuntu.

Thank you for your advice. I am using VMware Player with Backtrack 3 and Ubuntu.

I have tried the commands given and still not working. If I used iwconfig and ifconfig the screen shot is as follows:-
root@bt:~# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0c:29:cc:00:83
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

root@bt:~# iwconfig

eth0      no wireless extensions.

Could you advise further.

Hm, it looks like your adapter is not set in monitor mode.

Let's see if this guide helps:

How to crack WEP with Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG

When you do lsmod, what can you see there? iwl3945, ipwraw?

[Jack]

Thank you for your response.

When I do lsmod, I see ipwraw.

Hey, you need to get and install the patched ipwraw for the monitor mode to work, you can get it here:

wget http://dl.aircrack-ng.org/drivers/ipwraw-ng-2.3.4-04022008.tar.bz2

Hey, hello, you have to do what the message tells you. It tells you to

Code:

make SHELL=/bin/bash

This will set the shell to bash, and then it should work.

I have the same error, im sure that SHELL is not the problem

[dryphi]

I am getting an error when trying to make as well.
Even when I set the shell to bash (as suggested) I get "fatal error: net/ieee80211.h: No such file or directory"
I am using Ubuntu 11.04 on a Lenovo T60.
Thanks
