What is the Issue?: Was using xiaopan 0.4.2.1 without much problem but to day I don't seem to be able to scan for APs. Tried using Feeding Bottle to scan and I get this>> "ioct(SIOCSIFFLAGS) failed: Operation not possible due to RF-kill. Pree any key to exit" What is RF-kill?Ultimately, What are you trying to achieve?: Hack WPS with Reaver and InflatorWhat is your wireless device model?: signalking/RTL8187lUSB or Internal Device?: USBHow are you using it?: I am using Xiaopan in VMwareOperating System: WindowsIf you used a Live CD or USB How did you create it?: What version: Xiaopan 0.4.2.1 --- Double Post Merged, 9 Aug 2012 ---
Try the following in Terminal: Code: Select All rfkill unblock all More information: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Documentation/rfkill
Thanks, after "sudo rfkill unblock all" feeding bottle is scanning. So I try inflator after scanning the "inflator" window dissapear. regards --- Double Post Merged, 9 Aug 2012 --- Mr.Penguin, I try "sudo rfkill list" in terminal and I get this ( 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Softblock:No Hardblock:Yes. Using minidwep-gtk manage to scan, started reaver...giving me repeats of same pins and 10 failed connections in a row. Need some help here....trying to google for it but I don't seem to understand those writeup..Sorry noob here --- Double Post Merged, 9 Aug 2012 --- Ok, after some reading I tried this, disconnect wifi card from vmware. In terminal "sudo modprobe -r acer_wmi". Connect back my wifi card and check "rfkill list" I get soft block and hard block NO. Run feeding bottle, scan but no APs found. In terminal " sudo rfkill" and damn hard block is back YES..What could be my problem here?
This is really unusual behaviour and your card should just work, can you run the following at command prompt and then try again: Code: Select All sudo rfkill list all sudo rfkill unblock all sudo rfkill list all sudo rfkill unblock 1 sudo rfkill unblock 2 sudo rfkill unblock 3 ifconfig wlan0 down ifconfig wlan0 up sudo service network-manager restart sudo modprobe -r rt73usb sudo modprobe rt73usb sudo service network-manager restart After some research I found out that there is a fault in a program that comes preinstalled on Windows. It wasn't mentioned exactly what Windows Program was to be responsible for the issue. I think if you use this Live and do not get the same issue, then there is something wrong clearly in VMware or your host machine.
Thanks for the effort! I'm now using running liveusb without any problem. From my observation, maybe this is due to my dlink router which is faulty. Whenever I have 10 Failed connection, I need to soft reset the router and I'm back testing pins again. Also I've tested the -p option with 4 digit which speedup my experiment with reaver inflator.
