@Balam

Looks like your answer is in the output (copied below):
“…

Maybe check your wireless hardware, looks like the wireless NIC does not support the features?

Okay… Here is aircrack for Jaunty (9.04): https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/aircrack-ng/1:1.0~rc3-1

Or you could just try sudo aptitude install aircrack-ng

I’ve not played with this in over a year now (so might be a bit out of touch), But I don’t think airsnort is supported in Jaunty. You can try keeping an eye on http://www.getdeb.net/ and if airsnort ever does get in the Jaunty repositories, the package might be called airsnort-ng

Also, have you tried this to clean out any issues:

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get autoclean

Thanks in advance.

Try aircrack for Hardy (8.04) here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/har.....ircrack-ng

and airsnort for Hardy (8.04) here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+package/airsnort

I hope they help, please let me know – Thanks.

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install aircrack
sudo apt-get install kismet
sudo apt-get install airsnort
sudo apt-get install linux-source
sudo apt-get install linux-headers
sudo apt-get install sharutils

but I could not install aircrack and airsnort. Because it saids “Couldn’t find packet aircrack”. Similar to airnort.

Please let me know how to do ?

Thanks in advance.

lol, restore or copy back files/settings?

i didnt back up files or settings, i was just blindly following the instructions. i am a total noob at ubuntu and i have the 64 jaunty version. also im not using using the madwifi-ng driver, i saw it when i had to activate my graphics card driver, but i didnt activate it… should i be using the madwifi-ng driver?

anyways, i eventually re-installed the operating system and it is working again but i would like to try to run the aircrack suite again but this time back up files/settings first…. so how do i go about doing that?

thanks in advance.

also my computer is a hp pavilion dv7-1135nr

1) Restore (copy back) the files/settings you backed up.
2) Remove any packages you installed and put your original settings back.

I find I always have to backup some of my files and write my settings down. That way I can always go back to my original system. If I don’t do that, I find I always end up in trouble.

I hope one of the above two steps should get you going again, as I have no idea what system you’re running, hardware, etc.

right now im connected via wireless usb adapter, i just happen to have one or id be really screwed.

any help getting my internal wireless card back up and running would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
