Just wondering if anyone has used this (the Dlink DWL 650+) on linux. I need it for wardriving so i need a card compatible with kismet, netstumbler airplay etc.

If not could anyone recommend another card?

I did some research on that too, unfortunatly for me... i was to late to find this list: http://www.wildpackets.com/support/product...ropeek/hardware as i already bought a wirelessG WPC54G (broadcom chip, so it wont work, or not yet anyway) Normaly, when it works with aeroPeek chances are it will work with the other programs too (or at least, thats what i read about it in another *nix program's help file)

Hope this list helps you

The DWL 650 is on many of the lists I have found but i cant find anything about the 650+ so im not sure

Well, then my advice is not to buy it...

With my card for example, "WPC54G" is not supported while Linksys "WPC55AG Dual-Band Wireless A+G Notebook Adapter" is ...

If you want to be sure, send an email to the people ad wildpackets.com, they responded to my question within a day.

I have the Dlink DWL 650+ in my zaurus and I use kismet with no issues. I also use the adapter in my laptop and whoppix with it with no probs. the old vs is prisim 2 the newesr ones is a different chip set. Though mine is prism 2 I can not get the air replay attack to work with it cause whoppix detects it as eth0 and not wlan0. Either way kismet works fine on it.

Make sure that the issue isn't you are using aireplay 2.1. Apparently it requires 2 cards to send packets and capture them with airodump. The latest Auditor CD has 2.2 and can do both simultaneously (sp?) My wireless card is seen as eth0 as well. I have cracked 2 test networks in the last 2 days in 40 minutes or less. Oh yeah its a netgear 54g card with the prism chipset.

The latestest auditor cd, is that the name of the distro. I will look for it and try that I have another engagement with a client and I wouldl ike to have that in the tool kit.

Thanks

As far as I've tested 'D-Link Air DWL-650+" does not work with Kismet..

The one im looking for is the 'D-Link Air DWL-650' as it contains Prism2/2.5 chipset. But beware, there exist both an old and a newer version of the DWL-650. Because after a while D-Link gave up the Prism2 chipset and started fabricate it with another chipset that is not supported in Kismet.

So beware on what 650'er you buy, here is the pic of the old 650, that contains Prism2 chipset;

And this is the new version of the D-Link 650 that does NOT work with Kismet;

Too bad D-Link don't manufactor the one with Prism2 chipset anylonger, but you can be lucky to find it on eBay.

God dammit!

So does anyone have any recommendations for cards that are still actually being made?

BN has stated it multiple times. The Cisco wireless cards work with the linux native drivers. They are a little more expensive but they are supposed to work.

I wonder how long it will be before the writers of these apps realize they need to come up with a new way to do this cause it seems cards using prisim is getting fewer and fewer.

yea, the majority of ones i've been looking at arent made anymore and any places that do them say it will take a long time to get them in.

Its a bitch really

This card

http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=301534&cks=PRL

claims to be linux compatible, has anyone heard of it?

there is also this version of it

http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=120184

I also just found this on ebay which looks quite promising

http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...ssPageName=WD2V

The ebay oen will work but it is not prisim2 it is the hermes chipset, the orinoco cards are supported under linux though.

Yea as far as i know it should work ok.

Conversation me and necrocide had before. Kismet supports many card types, for example, i dont have a prism2 chipset. I have Orinoco and kismet works fine.



http://www.governmentsecurity.org/forum/in...showtopic=15173 <- Heres a small post about getting the orinoco working quickly.

Also, if your not sure, and they have a display model, bring in auditor and see if it works. Or Whoppix, but it didnt have the same patch, my card doesnt work in whoppix but on my normal nix install and auditor.

I purchased an Enterasys Networks RoamAbout card on eBay a couple of months ago. It uses the Orinoco chipset, and works perfectly on my dual-boot XP/SUSE 9.3 laptop. You can sometimes get Windows drivers to install under Linux using ndiswrapper available from SourceForge.

That site on ebay doesnt seem to be responding to my emails. I dont suppose anyone knows any other good european websites, that deliver inside the EU, where i would get one of these cards?

do yourself a favour and get the Prism2 chipset cards, if you are interested in wifi pen testing.

Orinoco is cool, but isnt as widely support, under *nix, as the Prism

I have the Senao SL2511CD+ and it works great under Auditor, just boot and go.

use it, dont use it

Hi there,
i have a DWL650+ the "so called" ExtremeG protocol...
Well on my laptop a have a dual boot XP / slackware ... it works great (try madwifi drivers) link here i tried to install Kismet but it seems slackware has a problem with a library and never really really tried to set it up correctly.
one thing i noticed is that the range is slightly smaller in linux than in windows about 1, 2 meters, some weird thing about the *nix drivers hope they fix it soon.
PS: it is very stable under slackware. the chipset is Atheros and my HW version is C2.

Hehe, i just stumbled into this nice link this week, thought i'd share it here:

http://www.wlanparts.com/product/WDNL2511CDPLUSEXT2

What more does one need huh?
... besides airco, a car adapter and some sort of shielding so that people dont see you typing in your car

I've just ordered the DWL-650 11Mbps so i'm hoping it will be the old version then... :s If not they can put it where the sun doesn't shine (its the 3th card i purchase!) and i'm getting this one here

Regards,

Edit:

The specs tell you its compatible with windows, but off course you 're not happy with windows! But this card is auditor-cd-ready and works well with linux and kismet. Info gathered from this, imho, fine tutorial:

I didnt get to actually testing this because i dont have my card yet but it seems like trust-worthy info.
