Greetings,
On a fresh install of Backbox, updated programs, every time I attempt to do some wireless (what have you), my AWUSO36H Alfa card breaks! I've used this card in the past, on backbox, with success. But with this install, the breakage always occurs a few minutes after running wash or reaver. If I attempt to restart the interface I get an "operation not possible due to rfkill." I'm on a desktop computer btw.
rfkill list all, reports a hard block on 2: phy2: Wireless LAN. Soft blocked is a no. The online fix, rfkill unblock wifi doesn't do much, I have to physically disconnect the card and reconnect it to remove this block.
Reaver version is 1.4. I've tried feeding reaver mon0 and wlan0, one at a time, but both broke the same. I tried killing all the programs that airmon-ng reports could cause a problem and that doesn't make a difference either.
Maybe a list of steps would help?
1. sudo -s
2. disable networking
3. airmon-ng start wlan0
4. reaver -i -b -e -c -vv or wash -i
5. two minutes later, the program hangs
Thank you,
