very slow 50% in 20h or errors

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Reaver 1.4
backtrack 5 RC1
Alfa Awus036h monitor mode
signal -40 to -70
reaver runs on my pc and laptop

I tried it on my PC with i5 4x4ghz and my laptop Dell 1515 with c2d 2ghz
On both it's very slow.
First my laptop starts with 13sec/pin and now after 20h it's 22sec/pin.
My PC starts with 5sec/pin and then it's also 15sec/pin.
I stopped my PC but my laptop still runs with reaver turned on.
On my laptop I sometimes see that error 0x02 and 0x03 and retrying pin but it's 
rare. The main issue is... it's super slow.
On the other hand my PC which as mentioned before is faster doesn't do anything 
faster.
But most of the times reaver on my PC shows those errors which I found in other 
posts like:

[!] WPS transaction failed (code: 0x02), re-trying last pin
...some retries
[!] WPS transaction failed (code: 0x03), re-trying last pin
..some retries

or

[!] WARNING: Receive timeout occurred
[+] Sending EAPOL START request

I tried :
reaver -i mon0 -b <mac> -vv
reaver -i mon0 -b <mac> -vv -a
reaver -i mon0 -b <mac> -vv -a --no-nacks
reaver -i mon0 -b <mac> -vv -a --no-nacks -d15

So I'm testing reaver just on my laptop.

I've used -N instead of --no-nacks and it showed 3sec/pin for a moment but then 
it went back to 15sec/pin
I also have every 1-2min another warning:
WARNING: Detected AP rate limiting, waiting 60seconds before re-checking
It's usually 3-5 times in a row and it actually waits probably more than 60sec.
I tried -d 5 and -d 15 but it only changed rate to 37sec/pin

Any advice?

I'm using ALfa rtl8187. reaver 1.4

found this way to make it work

1. run: aireplay-ng mon0 -1 120 -a 68:7F:74:E2:4A:1C -e kitty-Home
2. then: reaver -i mon0 -A -b 68:7F:74:E2:4A:1C -c 6 -vv --no-nacks --win7

hope this help ;)

i didn't try it.
today i came from work and after 40-50h it finished with success.
I think my last try helped:
reaver -i mon0 bssid -N --dh-small -vv --no-lacks -d 0

Anyway I clicked ctrl+C and tried different ssid. Soemthing was wrong. 
Airodump-ng showed me only ssids on channel 2. But why?
Whatever i tried to hack gave me reaver --help menu
And power in airodump-ng was always 00 for all ssids...
I restarted laptop, again boot live cd but it didn't help. Backtrack or reaver 
doesn't work...

No help, nothing works?

The processor speed of your machine will make absolutely no difference and to 
be honest I don't know why you think that it would make any difference.

Essentially the speed will be limited by the access point and the signal 
quality between the access point and the wireless adaptor.

If you want to know what the command line switches do then read the 
instructions they're there to help

For BT5 you should also update to a full release rather than use a release 
candidate 

Questions:
Have you updated the wireless drivers supplied with BT5
What is the make, model and perhaps even firmware version of the target router?

I have only had success with Linksys routers so far which both are WRT120N's

EndQuote. (minus the --win7)

Worked great for me using Ubuntu 10.04/Alfa AWUS036H and Jano's Compat Wireless 
RTL8187 patched driver.
