| Summary | 0004216: Alfa AWUS052NH very low signal and no injection | ||||
| Description | On 4.12.0-kali1-amd64 0000001 SMP Debian 4.12.6-1kali6 (2017-08-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux, the AWUS052NH Alfa wireless card doesn't work well:
I don't think this is a aircrack-ng issue as when I plug it into another laptop with 4.9.0-kali4-686-pae 0000001 SMP Debian 4.9.25-1kali1 (2017-05-04) i686 GNU/Linux, the blue light turns on automatically and injection works, and airodump-ng produces about 20 APs (which it should.) | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | plug in AWUS052NH card and: | ||||
| Additional Information | I noticed a slightly different dmesg on the two versions (4.9.0 and 4.12): Linux <hostname> 4.12.0-kali1-amd64 0000001 SMP Debian 4.12.6-1kali6 (2017-08-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux (this is after clearing dmesg and re plugging the card, so that's the whole output: [ 5282.977439] usb 6-2: USB disconnect, device number 11 Linux <hostname> 4.9.0-kali4-686-pae 0000001 SMP Debian 4.9.25-1kali1 (2017-05-04) i686 GNU/Linux [ 1087.440395] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 6 using ehci-pci notice the [ 1088.012477] ieee80211 phy2: rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Info - Loading firmware file 'rt2870.bin' that was in 4.9 not but 4.12? It could also be a 64 bit issue, as the Kali 4.9 i tested on was 32 bit. A possible resolution is looking back into the kernel code (I don't know my way around Linux kernels or C, so idk what is the root cause of this) and reverting changes that took place. I DID try replacing the driver file from the working to not working version, that didn't do anything. | ||||

CONFIRMED! Kernel v4.12 breaks injection on "rt2800usb" chipset over here. |
|
|
Kernel v4.13 fixes the injection again, so this issue should be resolved. |
