#Proxim wireless 8494 drivers
talks about using mac80211 drivers instead of ieee80211 drivers, but this isn't something I've had to change before so I'm not excited to dive into that task as I'm not very fluent in Linux.Įth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:d9:d3:ee These cards have worked for me in the past (maybe 6-12 months ago) in a stock configuration so I'm wondering if there isn't a "feature" in one of the newer dist-upgrades that needs to be turned on to get the cards in promiscuous mode? In other words, they are dropping frames not intended for them.

The cards will go into monitor mode and can be used for packet injection, but they aren't running in promiscuous mode. I have two Proxim 8494 and one Ubiquiti SR71 usb adapters and I'm getting similar results with all three units. I'm running Kali 32-bit in Virtualbox updated Friday with the latest upgrades/dist-upgrades (have also tested in a booted OS).
