Summary | 0002334: Possible issue with Netgear WN111v2 driver/firmware operability on Kali | ||||
Description | Hello, I am a student currently enrolled in Offensive Security's WiFu (OSWP) course. Per the course recommendations, I purchased a Netgear WN111v2 USB wireless card. I started the course on an updated Kali image. Although the card is capable of sniffing traffic, it appears to be incapable of packet injection, even though the correct driver is being used (carl9170). Please refer to the terminal dump for details. The problem remains, regardless whether the target wireless access point is operating without encryption or with WEP Open Authentication. The wireless card works fine when run on the official WiFu BT5 virtual image. | ||||

We no longer support Kali 1.0. Can you try with 2.0 and keep us updated? |
|
After I update to Kali 2.0, I'll be happy to give it another try and let you know. |
|
I am now running the VMware version of Kali 2.0. After consulting the Debian support page for the carl9170 driver (https://wiki.debian.org/carl9170), I confirmed that the firmware-linux-free package is already installed. The appropriate kernel module should therefore be automatically loaded for supported devices, yet nothing happens when I try to connect the wireless card to the VM. |
|
Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling 2016.x), these legacy versions are no longer supported. Please could you see if you are able to replicate this issue with the latest version of Kali Linux - https://www.kali.org/downloads/)? If you are still facing the same problem, feel free to re-open the ticket. If you choose to do this, could you provide more information to the issue you are facing,and also give information about your setup? |
