    I just found out that Pixie Dust attack works very differently for me on Alfa AWUS036H and AWUS036NHA.
    Where AWUS036H works great, AWUS036NHA is "waiting for beacon" or "starting cracking session" pretty much forever (sometimes it goes further, no I've yet to see a single successful attack).

    I'm writing this for two reasons:
    1) let others know that if Pixie Dust doesn't ever work for you, perhaps you should try another wireless adapter
    2) compile a list of adapters that are known to work well and ones that have problems working with Pixie Dust

    If something like that already exist please let me know and kill the topic.

    So let's begin it.

    Adapters known to perform Pixie Dust attack well

    Alfa AWUS036H

    Adapters known to have problems with Pixie Dust attack (while working well otherwise)
    Alfa AWUS036NHA
    TP-LINK TL-WN722N (same chipset as AWUS036NHA)

    OK, replying to my own thread.
    Alfa AWUS036NHA works fine with Pixiewps if txpower is not set too low.

    AWUS052NHS works fine as well, but still the legendary AWUS036H is the best.
