madwifi-ng svn aircrack-ng/aircrack-ng@ works correctly. When you try svn ee0555a, you get the following (also happen with rt73):

I tried several revision of madwifi-ng, from 6ec2922 to aircrack-ng/aircrack-ng@ and I get the same result with all revision; madwifi-ng is not the cause of the problem.

There was something wrong with my install, I succeeded make it working with aircrack-ng/aircrack-ng@.

I'm trying to find which revision of madwifi-ng caused this issue (and what change made this error happen). I'm quite close to it: 2f2ca10 works but 8e7d42f doesn't work anymore.

These 2 files were recorded with another computer.

  • unpatched contains the packets when wesside-ng fails
  • patched contains the packets when wesside-ng works (dirty patch applied)

There's no problem with both packets but there's something wrong in the way madwifi-ng reports packets sent (success or failure) or in wesside-ng.

Anyone help me with the patch, when i attempt to patch i get the following:

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

derdely, such question is a patching problem, not related at all to this issue. So please use the forum or specify the path to if_ath.c (from where you are).

You also get this with patched Hostap (kernel 2.6.20 version) under Intel.
Exactly the same errors

Hello,

I had opened ticket 332 with this problem and that one is closed due to same as this ticket.
I see only a patch for madwifi driver, is this the same for the rt73 driver ?

Is the problem also solved for the alfa with rt73 ..

Comment by misterx on 18 Aug 2007 17:42 UTC

no, there's nothing for rt73 because we were not aware of the problem before you posted the ticket.

Comment by hirte on 18 Aug 2007 17:42 UTC

i think the problem is, that on recent madwifi-ng driver revisions the ack frames are broken, they aren't 10 but 8 byte in size (lacking the last 2 bytes of the receiver mac). so wesside never gets an ack. i think this is what causes this error. on ralink, i think you never get acks at all. it works with aircrack-ng/aircrack-ng@ tho, as i used it successfully without the errors mentioned above. could be the same issue, which is described in ticket #334.

I think we talked earlier on irc. I don't have any kernel panic (with a 2.6.18).

You should report it to madwifi (but first, check if there's no existing ticket).

hi, i patched in directory and it patched okay with:
http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/madwifi-ng-aircrack-ng/aircrack-ng@fc1c00846b12aa600af4dea860e607b6175ed108-dirty_wesside-ng_fix.patch
listed above, but my card still gives the transmit errors, should I change the transmit with iwconfig before continuing? is that possible to fix the error? i am not sure which rxxxx driver i am using, i just get this when i install my card:
http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-trunk-current.tar.gz
I am using a macbook 13" rev2 late 2006. if i dont patch it, the card injects fine, and scans fine after i create a VAP with wlanconfig just so you know. but my error looks JUST like the one in the first post above. ideas? - thanks trev.

It's a bug tracker, not something to post like a forum. Please use a forum trevelyn.

For everybody having issues with wesside-ng, try using madwifi-ng revision 2834, it should fix problems (or use airdriver-ng in 1.0-dev to install madwifi-ng).

Comment by zarren2 on 18 Aug 2007 17:42 UTC

lol @ trevelyn

misterx Still get kernel panic with 2834.Been playin around for weeks ??? I havent tryed using airdriver-ng to install thanks I will try that later and if it still freezes I will post a new ticket.

I'm using kernel 2.6.22.9 and I've tryed 2.6.20 on slackware 12.

Ok used airdriver-ng to install drivers and it works but takes ages and very temperamental with guessing ip. And getting

[15:42:19] ERROR Max retransmists for (68 bytes):=db:eb:17 (rate=0)
08 41 FF 7F 00 18 F6 79 1E 51 06 1B 2F 68 CF 84 FF FF FF FF FF FF 30 38 02 B0 63 00 7E 0F 6F F7 89 B1 54 DD 53 C5 6E 6D 73 95 24 67 6E A7 9A 28 61 CB 00 E3 AE 4D 48 80 4C 3E 55 7F 56 EE 2B A9 17 BC 8A 5E

After looking into this more it looks like my card just freezes for about 20 seconds and then kicks in again?

It patched the drivers but I cannot find where airdriver-ng puts them ??? I think Iwill stick to my drivers untill 0.9.3.4 is stable :D

I can appreciate that misterx! but I was replying to your suggested solutions that both didn't work for me.

I will check to see if there is a open ticket over at the madwifi site and if not I will post one.

Since injection support was fixed in madwifi-ng trunk, everything works fine except wesside-ng. This is with a modified no-ack patch applied to aircrack-ng/aircrack-ng@.

Quite a bit of "max retransmits" errors, however:

  1. Associates OK.
  2. Authenticates OK.
  3. Gets ARP packet OK.
  4. Tries to guess IP and just hangs, not moving.

Not working here with AWUS036h either.

ERROR max retransmists

How do I fix this? I'm using BackTrack 4 final.

The card seems to be working other than that.. and the injection test with aireplay works too.

What gives?
