| Summary | 0000604: RT3070 drivers not working ONLY in Kali Linux RPI version | ||||
| Description | I have a laptop and a Raspberry Pi running Kali Linux 1.0.4. It seems that Kali Linux on the Raspberry Pi does not support the Ralink 3070 chipset. On my laptop running Kali Linux 1.0.4 64-Bit the Ralink 3070 is supported. When using lsusb I see the Ralink 3070 is recognized in the Raspberry Pi. But when using iwconfig or airmon-ng the wireless card does not show up. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Install Kali Linux 1.0.4 on a Raspberry Pi and insert a Ralink with chipset 3070 in it and it will not work. | ||||
| Additional Information | If you guys need any more information, please let me know and I will give it to you. My Raspberry pi can used to test everything. It is not a production RPI, so I can test and re-install as many times as I like. Hope you guys can help me. | ||||

Can you add some debugging information such as dmesg output, etc ? |

Thanks for the reply. I got a clean version of the Kali linux 1.0.4. No apt-get update/upgrade or dist-upgrade, and this was result when I inserted the Ralink 3070 USB stick: root@kali:~# dmesg | tail smsc95xx 1-1.1:1.0: eth0: register 'smsc95xx' at usb-bcm2708_usb-1.1, smsc95xx USB 2.0 Ethernet, b8:27:eb:82:82:4a udevd[149]: starting version 175 EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): re-mounted.

I did the same test with a laptop running Kali Linux 1.0.4 after I did apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade. This is a laptop running Kali Linux 1.0.4 64.

Hi guys, i did some more testing this weekend. I got several WiFi dongles and it seemed that none of the dongles worked on my RPI in combination with the 1.0.4 version of Kali Linux. I downloaded Kali Linux 1.0 for the RPI and all my dongles worked right away. After that I did a apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade and everything still worked. I gave a reboot of the system and still everything worked ok. I will download Kali Linux 1.0.4. Maybe there was something wrong with my download of the image. I will keep you up to date on my findings. |

I did a test yesterday and there was nothing wrong with the 1.0.4 image I was using, but the wireless dongles still did not work. This is the work around: Best way to use Kali Linux for the Raspberry Pi is to download Kali Linux at http://cdimage.kali.org/kali-images/ and choose kali-linux-1.0-armel-raspberrypi.img.gz. After booting from that image, do a apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade - y. Now you should have a working up to date Kali Linux version for all your wireless security scans. |

The issue is the 1.0.4 on the website was generated incorrectly by myself (I forgot to install the modules) - there will be a new one posted soon. |
|
|
Thanks for the reply. Great to see you found out what was wrong with the 1.0.4 version. Looking forward to the update. |
|
|
Any updates on installing the modules in 1.0.4? I believe this will resolve my problem as well. |
|
|
Thanks again for the report, 1.0.5 is out with the fix. |
