Issue with Drivers #68

Closed padmavathi101 closed 3 years ago

padmavathi101 commented 5 years ago

Configuration file: /root/krackattack/krackattack/hostapd.conf nl80211: Could not configure driver mode nl80211: deinit ifname=wlan0 disabled_11b_rates=0 nl80211 driver initialization failed. wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->DISABLED wlan0: AP-DISABLED wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0 wasn't started connect exception hostapd_ctrl/wlan0 9877

Can you please suggest what might be this error?

I have exactly the same issue. I am using an ALFA AWUS036H dongle and I think that causes the problem. However, I don't know why as it works fine with aircrack-ng tools.

Can anyone confirm that the AWUS036H adapter is not working for krackattack?

evilgash commented 5 years ago

I just checked hostapd and it says:

nl80211: Failed to set interface 3 iftype 3: -95 (Operation not supported)

I the checked which modes are supported by my ALFA AWUS036H and it turns out that AP is not supported (not in the output from iw list command):

iw list
...
Supported interface modes:
                  * IBSS
                  * managed
                  * monitor
....

Hence, I think my card is not supported to be used for the krackattack scripts.

The card indeed isn't support, thanks for figuring it out!
