and I want to know if my chipset is capable off doing those things

My chipset is a intel centrino advanced 6200-n on a sony vayo laptop running on windows 7.

Now, I know that windows is only capable off listening, so I boot backtrack 4 from a usb stick.

I also want to know if a live distribution can work flawlessly with the wificard even if it does not support formentioned things, because I try'd to use wget to download something and it says it ca not resolve the address?

thanks, Richard

    You can find some suitable cards to use here: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compatibility_drivers&DokuWiki=01c89160d88dc29d91c1546165ca8089#compatibility. happy wardriving.. – Alex Apr 10 '10 at 07:06
  • thanks, I have been there already, it go's sofar as 5xxx, but not the 6000 series yet. Somewhere else, I saw that it is possible to add the firmware somehow, but it was an incomplete posting. So, I am stuck again.I guss I can try to run kismet, to see if it gives some data back? – Richard Apr 10 '10 at 07:19
  • kismet is not working either? – Richard Apr 10 '10 at 08:29
  • Could you found any answer? did you try something? I have this card too, and wondering if I can use it with air-crack. can you please write what your conclusions? 10x – Tamir Jun 29 '10 at 13:00
  • I haven't really followed up on it. There are some lists available if you search for it, but they have to be compatible with the kind off software that you use and hardware. I remember there was something about windows that made it impossible. Problably need to assemble some kind off linux laptop. Trackback forum can possibly help you also. – Richard Oct 05 '10 at 18:26
  • I am confused, so you have been wardriving, just not with aircrack? Why don't you trying installing everything and running/testing the commands with your card? – Jared Burrows Apr 07 '12 at 06:34

Intel centrino advanced 6200-n does support both monitor mode and frame injection with iwlwifi driver. There are some intricacies involved on driver side though so it is best to use very recent kernel to make it work reliably. The patches which make this work well are expected to be part of Linux kernel version 3.5, until it's released you can build kernel yourself from iwlwifi.git tree: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.git

Instructions on building kernel from a git tree: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild

It should also work with older kernels.

As for the fact that you couldn't wget something - have you connected to wireless network at all? Standard client mode in iwlwifi works very well even with old kernels.
