Hello, Like some a year before me, from a thread two years before me ( http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=10042 ), I am interested in making my (pun intended) penultimate pen-testing netbook on my favorite operating system, FreeBSD; alas, I am not able to make use of the atheros card in said netbook for the purposes of injection. It is perhaps worth nothing that I started this project on FreeBSD 8.x, but my card (AR9285 card=0x10891a3b chip=0x002b168c rev=0x01 hdr= 0x00) was only working at what seemed half power and would constantly take itself up/down. I have since updated the system to 9.0-RELEASE and experienced what appeared to be fully functioning wireless until now. In the thread linked above, there is a mention of a kernel patch which allows writing in monitor mode - I desperately applied this patch after finding that the instructions to patch aircrack itself seem to have already been applied either in ports or upstream. Now, I can run airodump just fine, but when I try to do injection test with aireplay in either ahdemo or monitor mode, I simply end up with a bunch of "wi_write(): Input/output error" messages. I am not really sure how to proceed in further debugging this issue; should I turn wlandebug on, and if so, which bit is best, or should I just throw them all? Perhaps something else entirely? Is this maybe a problem with my card itself? Any push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Merlin
