What are you trying to tell us? I don't comprehend.

Post a snippet of the cli output please.

I am confirming that the rtl2800 USB Alfa is incompatible, as well as 
requesting features.

What about Intel Link 5100 cards? Monitor mode and injection work on these, but 
I do get the failed to associate with BSSID warning.

It works if I attempt to launch Reaver while being connected to the BSSID 
through legit means. The AP locks down after a number of attempts, meaning it 
kind of works except I can't be sure because my AP, although WPS enabled with a 
PIN code I know, sends me NACK packets when Reaver sends the correct key 
(through --pin). Shouldn't happen, but it might be due to the AP rather than 
Intel 5100 card so it doesn't seem to be the same issue as the "failed to 
associate" one.

I am using Backtrack 5 R1 and Reaver 1.2 r35 and the AP is a recent Sagem.

Hello all , i have the same issue with backtrack 5 with an alfa card rtl ,8187l 
chipset

I tried with the -vv at the end and its the same thing ....

Hope to try it working soon :D

By the way, not sure if it's of any importance but my AP is set to WPA2 AES.
Also the UUID is not the same as some Sagem ID that seems to be used inside 
packets, which is UUID + 3 (i.e. XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:(XX+3) ).


And finally, my failed to associate messages are less spammy than Danny's 
screenshot above. I do use -vv. I get timeouts, out of order packets and the 
occasional PIN code attempt (though Reaver always tests the same PIN, meaning 
is probably didn't get through). I get ONE "accociated with BSSID" at the very 
beginning followed instantly by a small bunch of "failed to associate" and all 
the mess described above.

@Tom, you mentioned "varying signal strengths", but didn't give the signal 
strengths. Usually you get the failed association warnings when you have low 
signal strength and/or high interference. This could also be caused by MAC 
filtering as well.

@b1957946, WPA,WPA2,TKIP,AES, it's all the same since WPS is separate from WPA. 

Hard for me to trouble shoot these types of bugs without pcaps...

max "on top of the router?"
medium " somewhere in-between at three points, thus med, then +/- 5 10 and 15 
respectively with and without walls
low " as far away as it can be seen by 1 bar but not all the way"

I have gotten it to "connect"? yet it always fails to connect or I get a 
command line error. (this is probably my fault as I reset it on a live usb 
several times)

Unfortunately for me all three of my wifi cards are rtl 2800 based :(
(at least for my tablet {TC1100} and others don't work as my slot wont work 
with the micro? or mini ones. 

I'll see if I can find another one and see if it is my fault?

Can we have an official build up so I can confirm if it is my card?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Well if you're on top of the router then you shouldn't have any issues 
associating unless there's MAC filtering involved. 

I don't have a rtl2800 card, but I have heard mixed results: some people say 
the rtl2800usb drivers work fine, others report issues. Can you provide a pcap 
file of the wireless traffic while Reaver is attempting to associate?

I don't have a pcap file, I could get one maybe later but I'd have to sanitize 
it before posting... if someone else could throw the pcap instead, that'd be 
appreciated :)

I described the issue above, but wanted to add that my card Intel Wireless Link 
5100 is using iwlagn driver.

I am also using the Intel Wireless Link 5100 with iwlagn driver and am 
experiencing the same problems.

I am using the "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965" with the iwlagn driver, 
same issue.

Original comment by [email protected] on 2 Jan 2012 at 10:45

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is there anything to do on Reaver dev's part?

Or is it only solvable through either an update to iwlagn/iwl4965 drivers or 
replacing those drivers with other Intel drivers? (which I'm not sure exist)

I had similar problems on a Intel Centrino 6300  
http://code.google.com/p/reaver-wps/issues/detail?id=30

So in theory if wpa_supplicant can do it. Reaver will be able to do it.

I guess that as soon as dev's get their hands on a iwlagn with problems, and 
can reproduce, they'll fix it.

Since everyone having this issue appears to be using iwl/rtl2800 drivers, this 
is probably a driver issue. I have had one report on the wiki that the iwlagn 
drivers worked (Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5300 card), and one report that the 
rt2800usb drivers worked, but all others using these drivers have reported 
problems.

I don't have any of these to test, so if this is a driver issue, like it 
sounds, there is probably not much we can do right now.

Just confirming, same issue here with an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 (using 
iwlagn) - does not work, cycles over and over failed to assoc and timeouts.

Hello there,
i just wanted to report that my emea intel pro wirless 6300 works using iwlagn.
Atleast that was the case for a Dlink dir 615 router. 
Had problems assosiating to a belkin router though. 
Can post a pcap file of the successful attack in the evening when i get home.

This sounds like a card-specific issue (although Johannes, ath9k should work). 
I'll add these drivers to our unsupported list on the wiki, but we probably 
won't be issuing any updates to support new cards anytime soon.

Original comment by [email protected] on 4 Jan 2012 at 11:17

[GoogleCodeExporter]

ndabbot, the Alfa should work with BT5. If you can't associate, you either need 
to get a better signal from the AP, or your card is not in monitor mode (or 
there is MAC filtering on the AP, but this is rare).

I'm using a awus036h and also seeing this problem using both BT4 and 5.

Original comment by [email protected] on 5 Jan 2012 at 12:42

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I can also confirm that this issue is occurring with 2 RTL8187L cards, the Alfa 
awus036h and Netgear WG111 v3.

Simply will not associate, the power to the AP is -36 dB. Also getting a "AP 
Limiting Error", but I assume that is a separate issue  all together. I will 
try the Alfa again tomorrow with a Yagi antenna to ensure the power is not an 
issue, although I should not need it regardless for this range/interference.

Try associating with aireplay and then use reaver with --no-associate

Examples:

aireplay-ng mon0 --fakeauth 600 -e Livebox-XXXX -a XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX -h 
YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY

I've also used: 

aireplay-ng -1 0 -a 14:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX -h YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY mon0

did you fix it?how you use reaver with --no-associate?i tried 3 different

Original comment by [email protected] on 5 Jan 2012 at 12:56

@gethackedbro: If you are getting the rate limiting warning, then you did 
associate. The rate limiting error indicates that the AP has locked WPS (this 
may be temporary or permanent, depends on the AP).

Most of these issues have been found to be either driver, environment or user 
related problems. We're talking to the aircrack-ng team and hopefully reaver 
will become part of their tool suite, which means it will use their 
injection/capture libraries, so any drivers that work with aircrack will be 
supported at that point.

Make sure no other processes (such as dhclient) are active on the interface.
This caused some problems.

Ok, so I hope I have some new info to clear things a bit.

I've always used iwlagn on a 5100 with BT5 and initially it worked. With newer 
versions I had problems and thought it's AP specific UNTIL I went back to my 
successfully owned cisco AP and couldn't even retrieve with -p specified.

So, r34 works on iwlagn. 1.3 does not, it keeps trying a specified (correct) 
pin forever and skips over it (12345670) in crack mode. Just keeps trying pins.

Should have paid attention, the responsible change is between r34 and r45.

I am using Reaver 1.4 in Backtrack 5 R1. Using my Att 2wire as a target I used 
the following cmd: reaver -i mon0 -b xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -vv

I also keep getting the "Failed to associate" message.

Please help
